“make sure you’re not letting your opponent get 4 in a row”

- play the centre as much as possible
- think ahead and build traps
- form the seven formation
- check the consequences of your move
- block opponent from getting three in a row

Awesome vid. I’ve destroyed my relationship with my girlfriend by relentless beating her in connect four because of this.

Who else is here after a cocky relative keeps on beating you at every family gathering?

[sufyaanahmed]

This game seems so simple but when you start playing, it gets complicated and competitive

It's near Christmas time and I'm trying to win the family tournament.

Everybody's talking about revenge on a relative when I'm here to whoop my PC's ass!

@jacksfilms I know that you are out there. You have been picking on the connect 4 padawans, but avoiding the real competition. I formally challenge you to a best 2 out of 3 games match. To accept, simply reply to this comment.

Depending on if you go first or 2nd, you want to plan to win in a 3 or 2 spot from the beginning of the game, because if both players know what to do, it'll often stalemate until the last row.

Have been playing for around a year and have decided to step up my gameplay. This, while a beginner guide, even had some tips helpful for me

[nathangarlick]

You're not doing realistic moves for the "other player"

I'm here because I need to win in a tournament in math class. I am the number 1 seed and acted a tad cocky so it is imperative I win. I've been training with the AI and playing practice matches, but your content is by far the most useful resource I have found. Thank you so much!

Wow I learned all these strategies on my own and now I’m watching it all excited knowing that you do the same that I do! Especially the 7 rule!

[morrishellgrn]

I got beaten by my lil sis at this, I'm gonna beat her with these strategies. wish me luck!

Edit: I won guys, I did it.

[zhanghaofrfr]

thank you for sharing your big brain strategies for us small brains that like to win but don't know how

[mr.cheeseweenie]

I like this. You should also make a video for Othello, or Battleship, or maybe branch into academia by sharing your knowledge on fields such as Math, physics, or even concepts from computer science.

I played this with a patient in a psych facility. He showed me a good strategy. Can;t remember it, so I appreciate Keith's tutorial.

Thx bro. Helped me a lot. Now i'm gonna go and flex my skills and if they ask me how I am playing so good and smart. I would show them this video and tell them to subscribe.
