My Humble Pentago Strategy Guide: Intro
What Pentago is...
from Wikipedia
Pentago is a two-player abstract strategy guide invented by the Swedish company Mindtwister.So basicaly it is tic tac toe on a 9x9 grid with twisting. This makes the game complex and challenging.The game is played on a 6x6 board divided into four 3x3 sub-boards. Taking turns, each player places a marble of their color (black or white) onto an unoccupied space on the board, and then rotates one of the sub-boards by 90 degrees either clockwise or counter-clockwise. A player wins by getting five of their marbles in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row (either before or after the sub-board rotation in their move). If all 36 spaces on the board are occupied without a row of five being formed then the game is a draw.
The Rules
This page is a basic strategy guide to this new game. I will keep adding to pages as I have time and this page is by no means complete. If you have good strategy to add, please post.

Cool and exciting game. All my family is keen on on it.
One can try it online at http://pentago.logrys.org.ua/ or http://pentago-online.com/ (much more beautiful but makes blockhead moves from time to time)
thanks!
