Column 2 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠). In this engine-verified Big Eye Boy (大眼仔 (Daai Ngaan Jai)) walkthrough, we inspect Mark #3 at Big Road Column 3, Row 1 (looking 1 column back to Column 1) and trace every step through describeMarkSteps().
RW-BEB-R1-BLUE (Big Eye Boy, Lookback 1): Mark #3 at Big Road Column 3, Row 1 → Column 2 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).
Column 2 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 2, the one that just finished, with Column 1.
Compares Big Road columns separated by 1 column.
Triggers Rule 1 (Starting a New Column).
Rendered with crisp SIGNAL white (#F4F5F6) lookback boxes.
Steps: 1. Column 3 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 2 with Column 1, 1 column further back. 2. Column 2 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).
Next-hand probe on this board: If B → -, If P → -.
When a streak ends at a different length than the streak immediately before it, the symmetry between adjacent Big Road columns breaks—and Rule 1 records that break on the very next hand when the new column starts at Row 1.
In `BBPPPB...`, Column 1 has 2 Banker beads (`BB`) and Column 2 extends to 3 Player beads (`PPP`). When Hand 6 switches back to Banker at Column 3 Row 1, Rule 1 compares the column that just finished (Column 2, 3 beads) with Column 1 (2 beads). Because 3 beads and 2 beads are different depths, Big Eye Boy marks a Blue (≠) hollow circle.
Our locked road engine summarizes this exact mark in two steps: 1. Column 3 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 2 with Column 1, 1 column further back. 2. Column 2 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).
| Derived Mark | Big Road Position | Rule Applied | Verdict | describeMark() Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark #1 | Col 2, Row 2 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Red (=) | This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=). |
| Mark #2 | Col 2, Row 3 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Blue (≠) | This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠). |
| Mark #3 (Featured) | Col 3, Row 1 | Rule 1 (New Column) | Blue (≠) | Column 2 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠). |
| Mark #4 | Col 4, Row 1 | Rule 1 (New Column) | Blue (≠) | Column 3 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 3 beads. Different depth → blue (≠). |
| Mark #5 | Col 4, Row 2 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Blue (≠) | This bead is at Row 2. Column 3 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠). |
| Mark #6 | Col 4, Row 3 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Red (=) | This bead is at Row 3. Column 3 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=). |
Many learners mistakenly try to compare the new single bead at Column 3 Row 1 with Column 2. Remember `describeMarkMistake()`: never include the newly started column in the depth count—compare the two columns that already finished (`Column 2` vs `Column 1`).
Across the full 34-hand board for RW-BEB-R1-BLUE, Big Eye Boy records 31 total marks (13 Red = and 18 Blue ≠). Remember that each hand in an 8-deck shoe is an independent event and derived roads describe past column symmetry rather than predicting the next winner.
