Grid Games Capstone
📋 What it is
Synthesis: read any grid position by asking about threats, tempo, stability and parity all at once.
🗣️ Coach says
The master move is a checklist you run on ANY grid game: What are the threats (mine and theirs)? Who has tempo? What’s stable? What’s the parity? Answer all four and you can play a game you’ve barely seen.

Master checklist: threats · tempo · stability · parity — on any grid.

😲 Whoa!
A strong grid-game player can pick up a brand-new connection game and play well immediately by applying these shared ideas.
✅ Quick check: What makes grid-game play "advanced" rather than basic?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
Reading a position through several ideas at once — threats, tempo, stability and parity — instead of only chasing your own line.
Combining the shared primitives into one read is the capstone skill.
