Four in a Row — Rules

Classic

A board of 7 columns × 6 rows, four in a row, two players. This is the main room of the club and the rated match: two games, with colours and the first move swapped in the second one.

All the rules are in the basics. Why a match and not a single game: on this board the first player wins with perfect play by starting in the centre column d. A two-game match gives each player one game with the first move, and the stronger player is the one who makes better use of both.
