Spot the Shared Primitive
📋 What it is
Grid games share deep ideas — the FORK (double threat) appears in Connect-4, Gomoku, Hex and more.
🗣️ Coach says
Here’s the payoff: these games look different but share primitives. The fork (two threats at once), tempo (who’s forced to move), and stability (unflippable/permanent) show up everywhere. Learn the idea once, use it in every game.
🧠 Memory hook
Same ideas, many games: fork · tempo · stability. Learn once, use everywhere.
