Microscope Game (Laboratory)


Hint 1 of 7:
Since the computer is not predictable, there's no guaranteed solution to this
this puzzle.  The best I can give are a few observation as to what strategies
worked for me.

Hint 2 of 7:
First of all, you want to gain squares that aren't exposed to empty spaces.
If you leave your cells near an empty space, they can just be recaptured.

Hint 3 of 7:
If you have to leave newly-captured squares vulnerable to open spaces, try
to leave lots of little open areas so that the computer won't capture too
many of your pieces at once.

Hint 4 of 7:
So an "L" shape is the very dangerous; the computer will form a safe
square if it lands in the opening of your L.  An "O" (a 3x3 box with a hole
in the middle) is by far the worst shape you can form.
