Strategy guides, opening theory, and tips to beat the AI
This blog is the written half of Fun AI Games: how the pieces move, why Easy feels different from Impossible, and which opening actually works on our boards. Posts are meant to send you back to a live game, not to sit as a standalone encyclopedia. We keep titles and URLs stable when a guide already ranks. New inventory is paced so the site does not grow a pile of thin listicles.
Guides are grouped by what you are trying to learn. Opening posts assume you already know the rules. Beat-the-AI posts assume Easy is beatable and you are climbing toward Medium or Impossible. How-to posts start from zero. Everything is free to read; ads may appear around the page, not during a move.
