Everything on this site stays free and stays where it is. This is the longer version: the same mechanics written out properly, with the worked examples and printable sheets a web page has no room for, laid out to be read in one sitting and kept.

What is inside
The refill loop, written out in full
The three-step loop for swap boards and chain boards separately, with the opening moves that produce the longest runs on each, and the point where planning stops being useful.
Collect goals, with two worked levels
A method for reading a goal panel, spotting the scarce target and budgeting the last five moves, followed by two annotated level walk-throughs from start to finish.
Chain-board positioning
Where to end a chain and why, with a page of diagrams showing the difference between a long chain in a corner and a short one in the middle.
Printable reference pages
Two A4 sheets: a pre-level checklist for reading a board in three seconds, and a store-listing checklist for judging a free game before installing it.
How ordering works
- You send the form below. That is a request, not a payment, and nothing is charged at this point.
- I reply by email within one business day, confirming the item, the price and the bank details.
- You pay by transfer if you still want it. Deciding not to costs nothing and needs no explanation.
- The PDF arrives by email within two business days of the payment clearing.
This page sells my own writing and nothing else. No coins, gems, lives, boosters or accounts are sold here, and nothing belonging to a game publisher is or could be delivered from this site.

Who you are buying from
An individual. I publish this site and sell this one file occasionally rather than as a registered business, so there is no ABN and no GST registration, and therefore no tax invoice; a plain receipt is sent on request. Publisher details are in the legal notice and the ordering, delivery and refund terms are in the terms of use.
