7.2 Walls
A common strategy is for a player (or color) to build a ``wall'' accross the board
with his or her pieces and their influences. Doing so will typically hinder the other
player from moving one piece of a given type to the opposite side of the board, in
effect ``isolating'' two pieces of the same type on one half of the board, so that no
connections between those pieces are possible unless one of them is to move through
a point of contention. In this case, the player with the isolated pieces should
probably consider using a Solipsistic Path to get one of his or her
pieces through to the opposite side of the board.
