Greetings..

Steven Morrell will probably point this out as well...
I believe the lose-all-battles strategy has already been written.

This is from Steve's Page:

;name Scorekeeper
;author Steven Morrell
;strategy P-space marvel

ldp #0,#0
jmz -2,-1
nop 0,0

end

----------------

And running it we see:

protector:~/redcode/warriors$ pmars -r 500 scorekeeper.red
scorekeeper.red -b
<warnings deleted>
Scorekeeper by Steven Morrell scores 0
Scorekeeper by Steven Morrell scores 1500
Results: 0 500 0

----------------

But while we go for records, here is my two-liner:

;name Loser
;author Kurt Franke
;strategy Lose always

ldp #0,#0
jmn -1,>-1

end
