The lesson in words

Ivory didn’t block your open three. Now you can make an open four: four in a row with both ends empty.

Ivory can block one end, but you make five at the other.

Your three is open at both ends.

Try it: Make an open four.

An unblocked open three becomes an open four, and an open four wins.
