I'm not great, but like most of the beta testers am owning so far (5-1). I find that there is a certain feng shui to the game. Yes, it gets very tactical at times and counting wits matters, but you can plan an offensive but studying the space and the potential flow of movement. If you can overload a side of the board, or control the center and have the ability to flow in one direction, you can win. On defense, as long as you can sense which way they are trying to flow, you can effeciently counter to prevent being overloaded. If you can counter with minimal force, you can attack or prepare to attack elsewhere.
