Ataxx - Strategies

Strategies

We don't play Ataxx with a long-term strategy, as it may be used in Chess, Reversi or Go. We more apply some process when trying to keep or win some positions. Many beginners are thrown in front of this lack of marks. About it, you may read some of their reactions and hints at the bottom of the page Microscope - 7th Guest.

To control the sudden revivals...

Understand how plays a good opponent to do alike, then better

Calculation and freezing

documentation page

Hole of one, yes, hole of two, no !

In left-high, Blue has an U configuration.
By going in the hole of the U (with a piece of the left edge,
whose square is impregnable) Red becomes sure to win.

To play the last

refuse to play by splitting in the last hole, when it has 2 squares. It is better to make a jump, so that the hole is displaced.
conversely, force the opponent to play by splitting in the last hole of 2 squares, whether you can access to the last free case by splitting (if you must jump, you may strip yourself elsewhere),
force the opponent to jump in the last hole of one square a little surrounded (because of blocks) and let him liberate a square very surrounded, where you can go by splitting.
