The edge template template VI2

Let us first see what possibilities Red has if he moves first.

There are two obvious options:

In both diagrams the possible intrusion points are marked by (+). So we only have to consider the intersection of the intrusion points. They are:

Intrusion at E5 and F5

If Blue blocks at E5 then Red plays F3, reducing to Template IVb

21

Likewise if blue blocks at F5:

21

Intrusion at G2

21

Blue has four options that don't immediately reduce to another edge template:

Block at E4

21

Red's G3 piece is connected to the top via F3 or H2.

2143

Here Red has created a Ladder escape fork. If blue blocks the ladder Red plays at D3.

Block at D5

625413

And Red has connected. If blue choose to play at E6 instead of E5:

87625431

Block at C6

625431

Block at E6

234651

Play continues...

4321

Intrusion at E6

21

Red threatens to connect via D4. Blue must respond in one of the marked hexs.

2341

The H4 piece is connected to the bottom with template III-1-a, and is connected to the top in two non-overlapping ways:

2341

and
