    When playing this game it's always good to create 2 pathways just in case your opponent block you and you can go the other way and win. It's not easy I play against the CPU so I like to be challenged.

  • @Sam_on_YouTube

    It should be noted that while this game is completely solved by computer analysis, the computer could not detect much in the way of strategy to guaranty a win. There are suggestions, certainly, but nothing to guaranty a win for one side or the other unless you have access to the database of every possible game.

    • @Sam_on_YouTube

      NoName Was that based on the recent solving of Connect 4? Last I heard on the state of it (and I haven't read that paper) there were tactics and strategies that are helpful, but no optimum winning strategy like you see in games like Nim and Tic Tac Toe. Rather it is more like chess, except with a small enough space of possible moves that current computers can now check them all to find he best option.

    what if when you do the fake diagonal connect 4 he blocks on the very right lane

    • @KeithGalli
      @KeithGalli  Před 6 lety +6

      If this happens, I would recommend holding off on putting any pieces on the right side. Hopefully the opponent will drop a piece one over from the very right lane giving you the 7 formation. If he doesn't do this and continues to play the very right lane, just make sure to drop one of your pieces in that lane so that you are one away from four in a row three rows up and one column over from the right. If the opponent doesn't play the right side at all, just play smart and try not to give him any opportunities on the left side/middle. You will eventually win on the right side.
      Hopefully this makes sense! It's kind of hard to type out an explanation, let me know if you have any other questions. :)

      @Bob_Wade Před 6 lety

      best tactic what I've noticed is to always put coins on the second bottom row when possible, eventually few columns will be completely empty. usually no matter what opponent does in the end you'll usually get 4 in a row in the second row by forcing the opponent to put one coin in to the bottom row
