The lesson in words

You can’t stop a four-three once it’s made. Instead, look for the points where your opponent’s lines cross, and take them first.

Ivory’s row of three and column of two meet at one point. If Ivory plays there, it’s a four-three.

Try it: Stop the double threat before it happens.

Defend the crossing points, not just the lines.
