General advice

  • One important advice for novice players to remember: "In Hex, the best attacking move is often to defend." Instead of trying to connect your sides, do your best to impede your opponent.
  • If you play with a strong player and you lose, try to repeat the opponent's moves and observe the responses. This can be a fast way to learn new bit of strategy.
  • Another good way to learn strategy is to analyse games — preferably in your head and not with a program. Talking to senior players is also a good idea.

General strategy guide

These three pages originate from Glenn C. Rhoads' excellent strategy guide. They have mostly been changed to accomodate the transfer to the Wiki format.

Jonathan Rydh's strategy guide (used with permission) provides some examples of "how to think" during a game.
