Quite simple rule to improve you connect 4 game, attack the middle

http://homepages.cwi.nl/~tromp/c4.html if you look at these examples all main connect 4 play is focused on centre.

Don't waste chips on left and right- that's normally how the thais beat you.

Well feel free to ride a motorbike in one of world's most dangerous cities to do so:

'For instance, in 2002, 40,509 accident cases were

reported in Bangkok with 756 fatalities'

As far as 30k baht at a ATM i'll use an example already posted elsewhere- every bank/ATM had different rules.:

'Today I finally located the Aeon ATM location here in Market Village, Hua Hin. I have previously been using Bangkok Bank for my monthly ATM withdrawals because they allow 25,000 THB maximum and not the 20,000 THB other banks limit you to. Yesterday my withdrawal from Bangkok Bank was made at a 33.16 THB/$1 exchange rate. Today's withdrawal at Aeon was done at a rate of 33.43 THB/$1. In my case I paid $6.14 less for the same withdrawal from Aeon (which offsets my $5 non Wells Fargo ATM fee in U.S.) and I also checked the internet to see that the exchange rate had only changed .01 THB from yesterday. Unfortunately it will be another month before I am able to check out another important advantage of using Aeon ATMs. I asked what the transaction limit was for withdrawal from their ATM. They said 40,000 THB per transaction. If that is true, I can make fewer withdrawals per month at a better exchange rate AND pay fewer fees. My ATM card daily withdrawal rate was raised to what I was told the maximum my bank would allow which is $1,000 per day. Using Aeon ATMs represents a substantial savings in bringing my money from the U.S. to Thailand. Is there any way you could ask your readers to verify if the 40,000 THB per transaction limit is real (even though my limit would have to be closer to 33,000 THB because of the daily limit on my card)?'

I do oh so love it round here- anyone else need me to explain anything?

Withdraw 30k baht from ATM next to Nana Plaza- I did see a guy do this

how do u see that when all you can withdraw is 20k????

Might have been a Thai bank card, I can on my HSBC Thai card..... but personally, I don't find anything wrong with withdrawing that much next to Nana Plaza..... do they have ATMs inside Nana Plaza?

Gotta say that Barsie is right here.

One of my geeky computer chess master number guy friends (yes, I still call him my friend) looks up stats and even writes programs in his spare time to test random theories of his that are usually right. He actually looked up how to beat anyone at connect four and explained it to me over a beer as I pretended to listen.

Riding a motorcycle in Bangkok is extremely dangerous, but I love getting to places on time...and the thrill of missing death just so I can have those extra 10 minutes to kill myself with a McDonalds breakfast.

:shock: :roll: :shock:

Right with what mate?

Showing up with a Stickman quote as his defence?

Needs to voice his own opinion to be taken notice of.

No more scary riding a bike in Bangkok than it is anywhere else. They might be dangerous drivers, but at least they know there are bikes around.

And you're gonna die anyway.

Right as in for every piece of info I was questioned I provided an answer for.

And since when is using a quote not acceptable- are you now saying that I and the person quoted are both wrong, or merely arguing the toss for hell of it?

Yes. It's my thing.

If you're gonna use a quote make it very obvious it's someone else's work not yours.

And FFS this is as far away from Stickman as you're gonna get.

I'm sure you've got a thought of your own in there somewhere you'd like to contribute?

(This is me being nice btw. In case you were wondering.)
