      Weren't you paying attention? You first have to study the 1.5 trillion configurations, and then know which configuration your human opponent uses, and access the correct strategy from your groundswell of knowledge accessed in your brain smarts. You may forget your middle name, but this is how to win. And winning is everything, right?

Forcing moves are usually the best moves. 5. Win out of the opening. The number of good openings is very small. Symmetry further shrinks the size of the problem.

      @rushyrulz Před 7 lety +15

      At one point in time, I knew enough strategy to win around 95% of the time. Knowing the right move to make in different situations and then following a basic strategy is all that is needed. While there is a tremendous number of permutations of pieces on a connect 4 board, there is nowhere near that many that need to be memorized for perfect play.
      I compare this to solving a rubik's cube: There are *quadrillions* of permutations of a rubik's cube, but applying basic strategy and knowing only 6 algorithms can get you from any one of them back to solved. There are hundreds of rubik's cube algorithms that people have spent years memorizing and perfecting to increase their proficiency in solving them.
      In a game where there are far less possible permutations and far less "algorithms" as it were, developing a strategy understandable by a human is VERY possible and can be accomplished by pretty much anybody who puts in the effort.

    • @octalioncription769
      @octalioncription769 Před 7 lety +10

      What i wanted to explain is the existence of a wining strategy which win 100% of the game isn't understable for human logic because this strategy might be not logic at all.
      The strategy sowed in this video was discovered by brutal force by a computer who tryed millions game playing randomly.
      for example an other game named hex is a boarding game where ther isn't tye game and the existence of a wining stategy is easily proved with mathematics but very hard to discover even with computer.
      For connect 4 i don't say that the wining strategy can't be learn by a human, i say that this wining strategy shown in the video is not explicit.the computer knows the good moves but not the logic behind this moves

      +Seim Yonatan And that's why Connect 4 still requires skill to win, despite it being solved. Memorizing all of the combinations of moves is ridiculous, but knowing which moves work in general and why is very helpful. I highly suggest memorizing where you should go depending on where your opponent makes his first move (and maybe the second), and from there you'll be at an advantage, since the opponent is not a computer either.

    things you need to win:

    a camera
    a laptop
    7 signs with numbers 1-7
    your friend sits behind the laptop and has the 7 signs, the camera can see the board and is connected to the laptop. every time you opponent makes a move your friend can see it by using the camera, goes to the site and make that move. then he holds up the sign of wich row you have to take

    My uncle made a tic-tac-toe/connect-four type game when he was a child and my family still has it. It is 25 metal dowels driven into a square block of wood - five rows by 5 columns. There are 126 wooden pieces with holes drilled through them. 63 pieces are blue and round and 63 pieces are brown square (in case of a tie, one is left unused). The dowels are tall enough to stack 5 pieces on them. There is enough space between the rods for you to be able to see all the pieces, even with a full board. To win the game, you must connect 5, but now you have to consider all 3 dimensions. You can win in the x-y on any of 5 layers,you can win in x-z or y-z in any of five layers, and you can win on a 1-1-1 slope in 4 ways (from each corner of the cube to the opposite. I think this is a fun, more challenging and interesting game, that I'll probably make myself one day.
    I've not played it in a long time. I can't remember having ever tied. Is a tie possible in this configuration?
    Any idea how and whether this can be solved, and how many board configurations are possible? Perhaps we should consider a 4x4x4 board in keeping with the "4" theme.

      Kono is an international game that's 5x5. Drawing it is trivial. Either player can build a wall in the center of the board if they so choose, forcing the game to end in a draw. Nevertheless, this game is international. Existing in places that had seemingly little contact with each other. Japan, South Africa, etc...
      As for this 5^3 game, it sounds very symmetrical. The first move would be the center. Then there would two distinct ways to respond. That is, assuming an adjacent move is the response. I assume the same basic strategy would apply as in Connect 4. Three dimensions would make the center even more important. One of the six orthogonal adjacent moves would be the best response. I guess the best move after that would be one of four identical moves connected to the center node and perpendicular to the two-node line segment. That is, BAC is a 90 degree angle. After that, I guess I'd form line DAC. DAB would be a 90 degree angle. This would be a unique move. The goal of player 2 would be to block three in a row while developing as close to the center as possible. The goal of player 1 would be to go wherever is the most open, while expanding outward from the nexus, maintaining a connection at all times. There would be two identical options for the third move for player 1. Then player 2 would prevent player 1 from getting three in a row in that same orthogonal line segment. A diagonal move from the nexus would be played if it has two orthogonal connections. Until then, orthogonal expansion into the most open area would continue.

    • @user-cy2iq1gl1t
      @user-cy2iq1gl1t Před 2 lety

      It appears they used brute force after a accurate mathematical model was created. This is because there is a percent value assigned to each possible move after each successive move. I believe this would only be possible if each possible move in the game was determined.

    4:24 e1 is a better move than d7 imo. That's how I played on a site called 'helpfulgames.' Just won a gold medal at level 14, as a result of winning 10 games in one sitting. Accuracy was 18%. Their a.i. is good. It actually plays random moves. In contrast, the "mathisfun" a.i literally does the same thing over and over again. On that site, I win in 8 moves as player 2 and win in 10 moves as player 1. Always the same sequence. I was considering making videos where I say the move before it's played. I already did that for Nine Men's Morris. Even though that a.i calculated ~4 million positions per move, it always did the same thing. Good a.i is hard to find. It took 13-15 moves to win on 'helpfulgames.' Not once was the same sequence repeated. I even lost 45 times. Though my win ratio trended upward the more I played. If I make videos of Connect 4, I'd like to play against a.i at least at strong as 'helpfulgames." Funny thing, I just played against a human on connect-4.org. It played just like the helpfulgames a.i. It played what I call the "stranded center opening. I take 3 circles on the second rank, in the center files. The opponent fills 3x3 circles above them, while I go for the edges. Eventually the opponent is forced to play on b1 or f1, allowing me to get four in a row on the second rank.

  • @Lilitha11

    The flaw in actually trying to win in that way, is that since the computer assumes a perfect game it takes a the extremely long approach to win. Meaning a person can't actually play in that method unless they have the computer open, unless you memorize all the possible moves out for 40 turns. In which case you might as well be a computer yourself.

      Yes, if my opponent plays perfectly. I've already beat the highest level a.i of two different sites I played at. A human opponent played just like the stronger of the two a.i. The game has the following principles: 1. Go for the three files in the center first. 2. Make double attacks as early as possible. 3. Block enemy lines, especially in the center three files. 4. Identify key nodes i.e places which need a piece under them before four pieces are connected. 5. Forcing moves are usually good. Knowing these five principles greatly shrinks the size of the problem.

    bruh people in the comments are so triggered that this game has been solved by mathematicians and computer scientists and calculators have been created that compute using minimax algorithms and alpha beta pruning.
    The original way connect 4 was completely solved, was actually by a mathematician who used nine strategies - this was before computers were powerful enough to bruteforce and check everything.
    You can find the paper here by Victor Allis, who also solved this in the same year as James Allen, in 1988. The strategies are easier to understand (they use terms like Zugzwang, which a chess player would recognize)

      Not everyone grew up with that game. One of things that unique about that game is that uses gravity. Not everyone knows that.

      For humans, Boden's mate and Anastasia's mate are the easiest. At least on Lichess, those puzzles don't tend to e that deep. Not sure about computers. It's logical to first try perfect a.i, with as few pieces on the board as possible. Then expand upon that. Thinking in terms of vetors, rather than individual squares would shrink the size of the problem. It would be better if a.i clustered their pieces to both defend and control the center at the same time. Driving a wedge between the opponents piece if possible.

    Tic tac toe is not a fair game like you said in the video. The first player plays properly, no matter how the second player play, the first player can always win.

      +Tai Wei Hao nope. Perfect play in naughts and crosses *always* leads to a tie.

    • @InfiniteUniverse88
      @InfiniteUniverse88 Před 3 lety +1

      A fair game is a game that always leads to a draw. Drawing in games like Tic Tac Toe and Kono is trivial.

      Other a.i do the same thing over and over again. That ruins the game more.

      Well ofc, it's a kids game and not competitively viable since it's trivial and not fair (1st Player always wins)

      The uploader didn't even mention the concept of symmetry, which shrinks the size of the problem considerably.

    • @PuyolsHonor
      @PuyolsHonor Před 11 měsíci

      If you're first you can always beat it with perfect play, hence it's called a solved game

  • @PuyolsHonor

    Why are people playing a solved game, play chess instead. It's like playing Rock paper scissors, completely boring if you know the game theory behind it
