Congratulations to 3rd grader Jed and 4th graders Sadie, Clio, and Julia for opening play by moving the solid counter in the bottom row one unit closer to the striped counter. Now that the distances between the two counters in each row are the same (5 units), the subsequent strategy is to maintain the same distance between the counters in each row. By maintaining the mirroring strategy, eventually the distances between the two counters will reduce to zero and your opponent will run out of wiggle room.
