Beginners will often overlook a simple threat to score four; it is therefore important to always check all vertical, horizontal and diagonal
possibilities before making a move.
In a score four game in progress, one aims at forcing a win by making two threats simultaneously; conversely, one should prevent the opponent from doing so.
As a general rule, discs played in the center columns are more valuable than border columns, because they participate in more potential
four-ball lines (and accordingly limit the opponent's score four opportunities).
Among good players trying to score four, the short term goal is to connect three
balls, thereby preventing the opponent from playing in a certain column. Towards the end, the game then often turns into a complex counting match: both players try to
score four by forcing the other to play a certain column. In these situations, it is useful to realize that, if it's your move, then after filling an even number of places, it's still your move. Every column has an even number of places.
