Hello everyone,

I just wanted to ask, if anyone knows what the best first move in TwixT is. Is it to put a stone in the centre?

If you are white in chess, the best first move is e4 or d4. Is there also a best first move in Twixt?

Thank your very much in advance.

This site doesn't currently support the pie rule, which allows the second player to swap sides after the first move. The center is a very strong move, so the second player would typically swap.

Some players here deliberately make a weak first move, to give their opponent a sporting chance. If you are are new to the game, I would recommend you move anywhere close to the center on your first move when you play here. If you play on some other server, or if you play on a physical set, you might want to know more about the pie rule. See Wikipedia.
