Light to move. There are 17 dark and 8 light discs on the board and 39 empty squares.
Force your way onto a corner square within 2 moves. The opponent sees it coming and will defend.
What the position is about
- corner — The fight is about a corner square: once taken, it can never be flipped back.
- edge square — The key move is on the edge of the board, where discs are harder to flip.
Finding the way in
Look for a move that leaves the opponent only replies that open a corner for you, or a disc that, once flipped, gives you a diagonal into the corner.
Take your time. There is no clock on the result, and a wrong move is simply taken back so you can look again.
