Instead of filling the center square on the last board, you can fill the corresponding square and then start forcing your opponent to win that board.

- 3pt14159 13y agoDoesn't quite work, since the opponent can chose the centre square which leaves you with a free move, but whatever master square you place your free move in, can no longer be used to force him back into the same master square.
- homonculus 13y agoThe opponent can't choose the center square because you've already filled them all in the initial phase of the gambit.

- PebblesRox 13y agoWhy not? All the other squares are empty except for their centers. You can put your opponent wherever you want.
- chasb 13y agoI don't think so. At Orwin -1, picking a non-center move forces O to one of 6 perimeter boards, none of which have that corresponding perimeter position filled. This cedes initiative to O.
