[pbmserv-dev] Series of Cathedral Games



According to the "How to play" page at 
http://www.cathedral-game.co.nz/frame.htm:

 >8.    When a series of games is played, the players alternate
 >placing the Cathedral and making the first move. At the end of
 >each game players are awarded points equal to the number of
 >squares their unplaced buildings would cover. The winner of
 >the series is the player with the smallest total of points.

On the About Cathedral page it says:

 >An even number of games makes for a fair match.

The player who places the Cathedral is at such a severe disadvantage that 
Cathedral isn't a game for great players without this rule.  With competent 
play, dark will win every game.  The server should allow for series of 
games (at least pairs of games) so that the ratings are meaningful.
