Triangle Strategy

The inverted layout changes which early clears are truly valuable.

Triangle starts with an accessibility pattern that can look open while hiding deep blockers in critical branches. Best play values future overlap potential over fast surface removal.

Strategic priorities

  1. Map blocker dependencies before taking obvious opening pairs.
  2. Preserve complements needed by lower-point branches.
  3. Use stock support to avoid creating single-branch dead ends.
  4. When tied, choose the move that opens two future ranks.

Common mistakes

  • Over-clearing easy tops while neglecting deep branch support.
  • Spending flexible complements on short-term visual progress.
  • Ignoring inversion-specific reveal ordering in early turns.
