    • Use the 3*2 and 2*2 blocks to fill spaces left by larger blocks
    • Ensure blocks are placed in a systematic pattern to avoid repetition
    • Consider a zigzag pattern to ensure even coverage across the grid
    • Leave no single row or column unchecked in the early rounds
    • Maintain a strategic pattern and adapt as the opponent's strategy reveals itself
    • Alter the block placement slightly each game to prevent predictability
    • Develop a system to remember previous block placements
    • Review previous game placements to refine coverage strategy
  • ⛳️ Strategy 2: Exploit opponent tendencies

    • Observe the opponent's initial block placement and adapt your strategy
    • Analyse previous matches to anticipate the opponent's likely block placements
