    The game of Connect Four is a solved game, which means that with optimal play, there is a guaranteed way for the first player to win if they start correctly. The best solution for winning Connect Four involves understanding several key strategies, which depend on who goes first and the current state of the board.

    Here’s a summary of the best solution strategy for Connect Four:

    1. Control the Center
      The center column is the most important position in Connect Four because it offers the most opportunities to connect horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. Drop tokens in the center as much as possible to increase your chances of forming a winning line.
      Try to avoid letting your opponent control the center column.
    2. Plan Multiple Threats
      As you play, always look for opportunities to create multiple ways to win in future moves. This forces your opponent into a defensive position where they must block your moves instead of creating their own winning strategies.
      The best strategy is to create situations where you have two possible winning moves (a "fork"), meaning your opponent can only block one.
    3. Block Your Opponent’s Threats
      Always be aware of your opponent's moves and potential threats. If your opponent is one move away from connecting four, make sure to block them.
    4. Build From the Bottom Up
      Avoid placing tokens in higher rows unless necessary. It’s easier to win when you control the lower rows, which act as a foundation for future moves.
    5. Think Ahead
      Connect Four is all about planning. Always think a few moves ahead, both offensively and defensively. Consider how your opponent might respond to each of your moves.
    6. Force Your Opponent into a Bad Move
      If possible, force your opponent into a situation where they have no choice but to make a move that benefits you, such as setting up a situation where they must block you, leaving another winning opportunity open.
      Example Opening Strategy (for the first player):
      Drop your first token in the center column (column 4). This is the best opening move as it gives you the most flexibility.
      Continue to focus on controlling the center, but also look to create diagonal or horizontal opportunities on the sides while blocking your opponent’s moves.
      By following these principles, and playing optimally, the first player (if they start in the center and maintain control) can always win or force a draw.
