This strategy works best in the earlier tournaments (Tournaments prior to tournament 11). This method has been tested many times and it has been found that 9 out of 10 times, the user will win. Why will the user win? If you imagine a game of connect four, the best way to win is to set up a diagonal and horizontal line so that the last piece, will always bee on top of each other, so no matter where your opponent blocks, you will win either with the horizontal line, or the diagonal line. This method here sets up your pieces, so in the end, by step 9, you would have forced the opponent to place his block under step 10, and thus you are free to place your next block in step 10, to create a line of four, by which the opponent can only block one!
