Description:

Connect-Four is a tic-tac-toe-like two-player game in which players alternately place checkers on a vertical board.

The play board is 7 columns across and 6 rows high.

Each player plays each time with a particular color (usually yellow and red, or black and red).

The object of the game is to be the first to get 4 checkers in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line.

As the board is vertical, new checkers in a column always drop on top of other checkers or to the lowers row.

When a column have 6 pieces, it is full and it's impossible to add extra checkers.

If nobody have a 4-in-a-row and all columns are full, then it is a draw.

There are a couple of strategies in connect four.

The first consists in looking ahead a few moves to avoid the opponent to win and in the same time trying to connect four checkers.

The other strategy is looking for a win in the long run.

Most of the games ends between 35th and 42nd move when you or the opponent is forced to make a particular move since there's only one column available.

Then people think that the winner is lucky, but that's not it. An expert player is able to make this happen much time before. …
