See the figure in the PDF file for one solution. Play has resulted in one large entanglement consisting of a two-move cycle (moves 1 and 9 shown in green) with the rest of the moves as stems (in red). Depending on the choice of the collapse, X gets either 1-1/2 points or 2 points. X9 must end up in the square common to both 3-rows (square 5 in this example) in order to get 2 points.
