			One other useful idea for retaining control of the game is to create a situation where a smaller group is boxed in by larger groups as below.

			[[File:Rive_effective_size.png]]

			In the above image Red is growing groups to size three, and if there was any adjacent space to the size two group touching no other groups, this growing move would be forced. However since all moves adjacent to the size two groups (the spots marked with X's) are also adjacent to size three groups, you can effectively treat this size two group as though it were size three for the purposes of growing groups.

			In this situation all moves become legal again, because every move touches a size 3 group, similar to when there are only size three groups on the board.

			Red can now remove the size two group by merging with the one of size three groups and continue on to growing size 4 groups.

+It's worth playing a few games of Rive first, reading and absorbing the rules.
-Try to make as many or all the captures you can yourself and prevent or minimize your opponent attempts to capture your stones. Keeping your opponents stone at the edges makes them easier to capture.
-Keep a separate group until your numbers of colored stones dominate, then join the separate groups.
+In short the key points of the rules are:
