Just some clarification about only having 3 possible moves in the A, B, and C scenario -- yes, there’s also a fourth move (the L down the left side from the top corner), but it just mirrors the situation we have in A and B. By simply reflecting the L vertically, we open ourselves up to another immediate loss as orange places a horizontal L on the second row and kills our chance to make another move. Also, in move B, de Bono assumed that we would notice that Player 1 also moved the neutral piece from the top toward the bottom (since it can go in any of the open spots), which opens up a spot for Player 2 to go down the right half of the board. The neutral piece can’t be moved by orange *before* the L is moved, so that neutral piece had to have been moved by pink after Player 1 moved their L. Thanks for diving deep into these details -- and showing what strategic thinking is all about. P.S. -- Whether or not I put my pants back on for the rest of the video is up to you to decide.

but according to the rules, or what i understood, is that you could move the coin after you moved the L piece. And the coins seems like half the game. In your 'possible moves' you didn't move the coin at all, which would balance your enemie's possibilities..

@@kyden1329 Yeah you can open up a whole ton of possibilities further than those he listed. I don't know if I'm just misunderstanding something or if he really did miss some options. For instance if you flipped your piece into the unlisted 4th possible move and then moved the lower neutral coin into any position on the board then you can extend the game out at least one more move. I don't know why he left out the options that would extend the game. I also don't get why in situation B pink would intentionally move the neutral piece into a position that would cause him to lose the game and at the same time not show positions in A that would have pink move the neutral piece into an advantageous position. There is just a whole bunch wrong with those scenarios

Most of this video applies to all deterministic perfect information games, like chess, go, checkers, nine mens morris, tafl, connect 4 etc. (Although some of them can't go on forever). What makes this game special is that it strikes the balance where it's not obvious how to play correctly, but you can master it in a couple of days, where the other games can take a lifetime to master.

I like the fatal weak neutral & strong mindset. It really reflects how "just being reliable enough" can have you win through a competitor's mistake. Rarely need to play the risk because just not exposing yourself is already on the winning side. Only when both sides are in the skill level of not losing through mistakes, strong moves even start to matter. Man i love that.
@sha_663
@sha_663 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for reading. The idea is: On an even playing field of experience, if you spend time only learning neutrals of playing it safe, you only need to focus on 1/3 rd of the game but win 99.5% of the time, constantly beating opponents who will make mistakes. Because the winning move is a ~1/200 chance for someone to unknowingly play to then develop into an unbeatable turn order. Only when both players mastered "not losing by mistake", the winning move even matters to learn because only then, weak moves are a guaranteed loss and only neutral moves eventually lose by chance (expecting a true neutral game to go on for a long time until one plays a winner by chance. (See chess, where low elosconstantly make mistakes and expose themselves, better elo ending in more draws and high elo confidently going for high risk moves, sacrificing high value pieces. Makes sense? More of a metaphor on how focusing on not making mistakes can put you ahead of ~99% Lmk if i'm completely wrong there

I just played it for the first time, and came up with a simpler way to play it, and possibly even guarantee an infinite draw. Every corner square gets a score of 0. Every outside square that isn't a corner gets a score of 1. Every inside square gets a score of 2. Maximize your score with every move, then think about what neutral piece move would take away your opponent's highest score position, while not allowing him a higher score position by moving said neutral piece.

In modern tetris games, There is a cycle which gives you every piece every 7 pieces. Players used this to make up "starter setups". There also is a "perfect clear setup", which gives you a not guaranteed, but high chance to get a perfect clear withing the first 10 (11 with the "hold" option) tetriminos.

So, after about 15 minutes working through some possibilities on scratch paper, the best move for orange at 5:09 is to flip the tetramino horizontally and move the bottom left neutral piece above the short leg. This makes the board state: [PPNX] [PNXX] [POOO] [XOXX] Pink has no valid moves, resulting in a win for orange.
