A progressive game of Y

Here follows a Y game with a 1222 progressive mutator and the following restriction: both drops must be on non-adjacent groups.

   1          .
   2         . .
   3        . . .
   4       . . . .
   5      . . . . .
   6     . . . . . .
   7    . . . . . . .
   8   . . . . . . . .
   9  . . . . . . . . .
     /       /       /
    a b c d e f g h i

         X       O
    1. c5      c7 e8
    2. d7 f8   c6 e7
    3. d6 f6   d8 g8
    4. f7 d4   f9 e5
    5. e6 h8   g9 i9
    6. a5 b7   b5 a6
    7. b6 a4   g7 a4
    8. h9 a3   b6 b3
    9. resigns

Final position:

   1          .
   2         . .
   3        O X .
   4       X . . X
   5      X . X . O
   6     O X O X X X
   7    . X O X O X X
   8   . . . O O X O X
   9  . . . . . O O O O
     /       /       /
    a b c d e f g h i


'O' cannot play both b4 and b5 (the two drops would belong to the same group). So 'X' make occupy one of those cells plus another below to connect the bottom edge.
