Too neat an idea to leave unillustrated.

| Dec 30, 2016 at 22:31 | comment | added | wildBillMunson | My first reaction is that if both players play perfectly, if the first move is to the center column in the center grid, player 1 will win every time. Now I need to find a way to prove it! | |

| Dec 30, 2016 at 20:40 | comment | added | Rubio♦ | @Oray This is entirely understandable to me. A Connect Four grid is the 6 row, 7 column vertically oriented grid into which each player drops their pieces. In OP's game, you are playing on 7 of these grids at once, numbered 1 to 7. The first player to play chooses what grid they will play on, and (of course) chooses which column to play in. Whichever column that player played in, the next player must play on the same numbered grid in whatever column they choose, and so on. Each play's column# will be the grid# for the following play, unless a grid fills fully. | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 18:53 | comment | added | Oray | how "Alice starts by playing in the 3rd column of the 6th grid Now Bob has to play in the 3rd grid."? 3rd grid? or 3rd column? it is really not clear at all. | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 18:45 | comment | added | Oray | sorry but the text is not that understandable. You need to show everything with illustration: You say "each grid has columns", and "selects any one of the seven grids and plays a single move in any column of that grid". Grid is rows? or the empty circle? If grid is the empty circles, then the column numbers represents each grid on that column... you are supposed to say "each column has grids" if so, not "each grid has columns"... you need to fix the text, otherwise noone would able to answer it! | |

| Dec 30, 2016 at 14:09 | comment | added | user33097 | @Oray, size 6 by 7 is a standard-size Connect Four grid. Just imagine 7 of these grids. | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 13:35 | comment | added | Oray | could you illustrate with a picture of "seven connect 4 grids (size 6 by 7) numbered 1 to 7" please? having a hard time to picture it :( what is size 6 by 7? | |
