Here are some situatons/problems to solve by pointing the correct strategy to win.
Information! Red allways begin!
Each task has:
a difficultly level
history of moves done yet
information, who is on move & who must win
a short description, of what to do

Legend: # (/) means a connection (from left bottom, to right top), there may be also (-), (\), (|), and, maybe (X)
Columns are marked A-G, beginning from the left.
? means a bad move
! means a good move
Rows are marked 1-6, where 1 is in the bottom.
So 1.D1D2 will mean, that red began the game by putting their counter in the middle column, and yellow responded also by putting in the middle column.

I'll start by tommorrow!

OK, so I'll try to keep you busy :P

Task #4, from "classic" (that's easy 4 u)
medium

put one counter to keep yellow perfect play

1. D1-G1
2. D2-D3
3. D4-D5
4. C1-B1! (if 4. ... E1, than 5. A1-B1 6. B2-A1/E1 7. C2

6. F1-E1
7. F2-E2

And another one:

Task #5 from "2 per turn"
hard
red is on move
red win in 2 moves (2 turns)

1. C1-C2, D1
2. F1, F2-F3, G1?




PS. Don't think that highlighted column is a tip. One has to be highlighted, so I usually choose the middle one.

Task #4:
you typed it wrong but the picture made it clear. Answer: E4, secures 3rd column so yellow can get the diagonal later on which will create a double attack.
[I've corrected it - Teachme2play]

Task #5:
D2-G2
task 1 was harder, 5 shouldn't have been called hard

Okay here's one for Classic. Difficulty: hard. 1st player is Red; 2nd player is Black
1) D1-C1
2) F1-F2
3) C2?- ___
Black to make a move that will stop Red from winning. Where must Black move? Will Black win or get a draw?
