I happen to prefer horizontal and vertical lines, so here I go.

I didn't put much strategy in this game, to be honest, I re-worked it every time I posted a new move, so I simply had to proceed by locking the various columns:
Column 1 and 2 weren't that useful, if anything, an attempt to a vertical win in 1, but That woul have gotten stopped for sure. Due to Column 3 being locked (no one could play in the first row of that column because the other one would have put it immediately over to get the win), I didn't need Column 1 and 2, and you had no need to play there for the same reason. I was working on that win on Column 4 since a good amount of turns, but I forgot midway (lol), and provided a good lock there, too. Column 5 had only one free slot, and neither of us needed it (you could use it for a horizontal win, but by the time you got the base to do that, I'd have won, due to Column 8 (and, of course, 4) being locked. Column 9 has been snobbed since long due to those, IMHO, misplaced . You could have attempted a win there if you had another win ready, but by playing in Column 9 and Row 4 I would have closed off any kind of possible win there.


That's a major overview of the game, not like anyone needs it (I started out with a small comment, but I went overboard and decided to make it into an overview )

Just out of curiosity, which ones were you saying were misplaced?

Not really "misplaced", more like "obvious". Those were put in a way that you needed plenty of tokens in order to complete something (here, you'd need three in Column 9 and the winning one on top of them all) and still having only one way to win (or rather, two ways, but which needed the same tile. That's why I rarely start stuff that would need either Column 1 or Column 9 to complete: not being able to play stuff which could get me two possible wins is a wasted move, most of the times.

ORGANIZER NOTE:

A hoard of updates! Standings are added and now each line in the Winners section links to the last move of said match.

Important update: Now if you click on the "VS" between your and your opponent's name in the OP table, you will be redirected to the last move in that duel. Every time I post "Updating to here.", that means that the last phases of the duels will be linked to the corresponding pairs.

so...
Updating to here.
