just few words of wisdom I would like to share...
1. map the best deals on the board and look for clusters of 90s ... be there before your opponent gets there ..
2. Start with the highest deal ... but look for reasonable continuation ... sometimes it's better to start with middle number and have better jumps as a result ...
3. Eliminate opponent's high numbers in his/her starting row ... but be careful, high number you want to delete has its own low mirror on your starting point ... do not want to land behind from the very start ...
4. Always, before you move, analyse postion of your opponent ... try to cut his/her profitable path by using, if possible, your side of mirrors or doubles ...
5. When having advatage, try to make suicidal move as soon as you can ... watch for corners, some situations allows quick landing without an exit and win ...
I you have some more hints, please post them here.
Andy.
