Delete: 2 Saves Off Chop on the First Turn about hanabi.github.io

[EhDrone]

Deleting is fine i.m.o - but we could also replace it with a section that outlines how (I think) most people play? I can see people finding this happen late into their hanabi careers since it is rather uncommon and having no clue what to do. Something like:

No Turn 1 Valid Clues
Though rare, it is possible to have a turn 1 with no valid clues to gives [No 5s, no unique 2s on chop, no play clues]. When this occurs, we agree it is best to give a clue that causes the 'least' damage with a bomb [or the most 'benefit' with a bomb]. This decision is highly contextual based on each individual game - but since any clue given will be interpreted as a play clue, it is up to Alice to choose the best option to bomb. This only applies to turn 1 where Alice has 8 clues and cannot discard. Once the first clue is given, if the game state immediately goes back to 8 clues [Cathy discards], it is a standard 8 clue stalling situation. Note that in almost every situation, it is Bob that will bomb a card.

Sample of least 'damage'
Alice sees no valid clues to give on turn 1. Alice sees that Bob has a y4 on chop, and Cathy has a y4 in slot 2. Alice chooses to clue Bob yellow touching his slot 5 causing y4 to bomb immediately. Cathy assumes Alice had no legal clues to give on turn 1 and chose a card to bomb. She is not promised the other copy of y4, but agrees that a random 4 is better to bomb than a 3 in Bobs hand.

Sample of most 'benefit'
Alice sees no valid clues to give on turn 1. Alice sees that Bob has a a p4 on finesse position. Alice sees that Cathy's hand is x x r3 b3 y3. Alice clues Cathy 3, touching her 3s. Bob bombs slot 1 (p4) and Cathy assumes Alice had no legal clues to give on turn 1 and chose to make Bob bomb while picking up all of her 3s.

Thoughts?

Moved it to Misc section because it didn't really fit in the 'Save Clues' section to me.
