| Jan 31, 2021 at 15:34 | comment | added | Andrew Buchanan | Thanks, Gerry. So there's no reason why the closers should visit here. How close are we to unclosing it? All I can think to add is some info about Bill Tutte himself. He wasn't just one of the founders of graph theory, he was one of the heroes of British code-breaking. When I visited Bletchley Park, I saw an exhibition dedicated to Tutte's achievements. As one website says: "Alan Turing cracked the Enigma Code with knowledge of what the technology looked like, Bill [Tutte] cracked the Lorenz Code without knowledge of what the technology looked like and how it worked." | |
| Jan 30, 2021 at 23:19 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | You keep referring to "moderators", Andrew. So far as I can see, no moderator has had anything to do with the question. The comments, and the five votes to close, all came from ordinary users, not from moderators. The moderators of this site are generally reluctant to get involved in matters that can be settled by users. I'm out of suggestions as to what to do next. Sometimes, you do your best, and lose anyway. | |
| Jan 30, 2021 at 2:44 | comment | added | Andrew Buchanan | So... what's happening now? Forget about the accepted answer. The question remains closed. This is all very opaque and unsatisfactory. Please can any moderator who reads this and feels it should not be reopened can reply here to explain their position. Thank you | |
| Jan 22, 2021 at 22:36 | comment | added | Alec Rhea | Upvoted and voted to reopen; I enjoyed reading Andrew's contribution, and while I agree that open questions should be avoided this question is labeled as a reference request; the OP isn't looking for an answer to the open problem, only the most cutting edge literature which I think is a) an appropriate question for combinatorial game theorists and b) provided by Andrew's answer as far as I can tell. | |
| Jan 22, 2021 at 15:36 | comment | added | Andrew Buchanan | Thanks for the useful comments. If it's problematic to unaccept, I suppose I would say it's kind of secondary - the main request is to unclose the question, please. | |
| Jan 22, 2021 at 12:19 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | The original asker was last seen on MathOverflow in March of 2018, so unaccepting may be asking too much. | |
| Jan 22, 2021 at 10:11 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | As far as I know only the original asker can untick the accepted answer. This remark would have to be posed as a request in a comment on the question itself. I don't know if the closed status of the question interferes with the OP's ability to do so, though. | |
