A Strategy Sought

The Prompt

Attempt to discover or articulate a partial strategy for Hex on a board of at least 7×7. Document your reasoning: which opening cells you prefer, which patterns you look for, and where the strategy breaks down. Compare your findings to any published analysis or the known fact that first-player wins but no explicit strategy is known for large boards.

Completion Criteria

A written description of the strategy attempt, the board size used, and a one-paragraph reflection on the gap between knowing a strategy exists and knowing what it is.
