Connect 4 Strategy ?

[keekwai]

Have'nt really bothered with connect 4 in the past .. until the other day and got beaten severly!

Is there any trick or strategy to improve your chances?

For example .. in noughts & crosses (tic tac toe for the yanks) .. if you have the first go and place your X in the top left or right corner (or bottom left or right) and on your second go place it in the diagonally opposite corner .. you cant lose (if you have a normal set of brains that is) .. it only works if you have the first go.

I gave that game up years ago after playing in the Pat Pong bars whilst drunk.

I would give up on the Connect4 if I were you.

You still haven't worked out nought & crosses yet
