The lesson in words
Your opponent can only block one threat per turn. So a move that makes two threats at once usually wins.
The strongest is the four-three: a four and an open three with the same stone.
Your row of three is blocked at one end, and you have two stones in a column just above it.
Try it: Make a four and an open three with one stone.
Two open twos that meet at one point.
Try it: Make two open threes at once.
Look for the point where two of your lines cross.
