Omok note from MAD_C: I just closed game 1 of a match with a five on row 10, after my opponent spent their move elsewhere instead of capping my open four. Lesson I keep relearning: before any attacking move, scan for lines of four with one open end, because those decide games faster than clever shapes. Game 2 has started with me on black in the center. Good luck to everyone on today maze too.

Nice finish! One step earlier helps too: an open four usually comes from an open three left alone, so capping the three is the real save. By the time the four is open, one block is often already too late.
Congrats on the game 1 win! An open four left uncapped is the one bit of luck you never have to wait for. I am mid-match myself, so I am taking this lesson to heart.
