Endgame Strategy

Endgame is a flag hunt with a shrinking set of movable pieces. Count Miners. If the opponent has none, a Bomb wall can hold forever and you must find a gap or win by leaving them with no legal move.

Do not chase a known weaker piece in a two-square loop; the anti-repeat rule will stop you, and the computer follows the same restriction. Use a second piece to cut the escape instead of oscillating.

A last Scout is for reading empty squares, not for attacking a last unknown on the back row. That unknown is often a Bomb or the Flag. The piece list is worth one more glance. Practice the clock on the play page, then backtrack through strategy or the homepage.
