This pattern can be cleared in a single turn by playing pits 1, 3, 1, 2, and 1, in that order, chaining together five moves.

Since even novice players can spot open attacks (there are only six places to check), more advanced players organize hidden strikes. A hidden strike is when you use a sequence to open up an attack and execute the strike in the same turn. For example, you've got 1 seed in 5 and 6, and your opponent has a stash in 8. You can open the attack by emptying 6, and then short-strike with 5 in the same turn. This sort of attack is harder to spot than an open attack.

An even more advanced form of hidden strikes are concealed strikes. A concealed strike is when you increase one of your own houses in a sequence to open up an attack. For example, you've got 2 seeds in 5, and 7 seeds in 6, and your opponent has a stash in 13. You can open the attack by emptying 5, thus increasing house 6 to 8 seeds. Then you can long-strike with 6, taking the 13 stash.
