Flipping Practice
In Reversi, when you trap your opponent's discs between two of your own, they flip to your color. You have to check all eight directions at once — horizontal, vertical, and diagonal — and you can't play anywhere that doesn't flip at least one disc. To get used to the rules, find the move that flips the most discs. (You'll learn later that flipping a lot isn't always a good move!)
Puzzle 1
Which move flips the most white discs? (Black to move)
Show answer and explanation
The yellow circle marks the answer. This move flips 4 white discs. Don't look in just one direction — add up all the directions.
Puzzle 2
Again, find the move that flips the most. (Black to move)
Show answer and explanation
The yellow circle marks the answer. This move flips 3 white discs. Don't forget discs trapped diagonally.
