This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠). In this engine-verified Big Eye Boy (大眼仔 (Daai Ngaan Jai)) walkthrough, we inspect Mark #1 at Big Road Column 2, Row 2 (looking 1 column back to Column 1) and trace every step through describeMarkSteps().
RW-BEB-R2-C2 (Big Eye Boy, Lookback 1): Mark #1 at Big Road Column 2, Row 2 → This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).
This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
Compares Big Road columns separated by 1 column.
Triggers Rule 2 (Continuing Down a Column).
Rendered with crisp SIGNAL white (#F4F5F6) lookback boxes.
Steps: 1. Column 2 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1. 2. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).
Next-hand probe on this board: If B → -, If P → -.
Rule 2 Case 2 is the single transition point where a continuing Big Road column outgrows its reference column by exactly one bead. When the current bead lands at Row `R` and the reference column 1 back stopped at Row `R - 1` (one row above), Big Eye Boy marks Blue (≠).
In `BPP...`, Column 1 has 1 Banker bead (stopping at Row 1). When Hand 3 places the second Player bead at Column 2, Row 2, Big Eye Boy looks 1 column back to Column 1. Column 1 stopped at Row 1—exactly one row above Row 2—so Big Eye Boy marks Blue (≠).
Our locked road engine summarizes this exact mark in two steps: 1. Column 2 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1. 2. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).
| Derived Mark | Big Road Position | Rule Applied | Verdict | describeMark() Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark #1 (Featured) | Col 2, Row 2 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Blue (≠) | This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠). |
| Mark #2 | Col 3, Row 1 | Rule 1 (New Column) | Blue (≠) | Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 1 bead. Different depth → blue (≠). |
| Mark #3 | Col 3, Row 2 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Red (=) | This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=). |
| Mark #4 | Col 3, Row 3 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Blue (≠) | This bead is at Row 3. Column 2 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠). |
| Mark #5 | Col 4, Row 1 | Rule 1 (New Column) | Blue (≠) | Column 3 has 3 beads. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠). |
| Mark #6 | Col 4, Row 2 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Red (=) | This bead is at Row 2. Column 3 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=). |
Notice that in any column, Rule 2 Case 2 can happen at most ONCE per lookback road—specifically on the exact row `refDepth + 1` where the current streak first steps past the reference column's bottom.
Across the full 34-hand board for RW-BEB-R2-C2, Big Eye Boy records 32 total marks (16 Red = and 16 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.
