British Square Strategy

Direction-lock timing is the core decision in every opening.

Each column direction commit changes future suit traffic. Strong openings preserve flexibility while bringing Aces online quickly.

Strategic priorities

  1. Free Aces early so foundations can start.
  2. Commit column directions only with clear rank-flow support.
  3. Use emptied columns to repair bad early locks.
  4. Treat stock cards as non-renewable resources.
