about_rules_title = Rules of the Game
about_rules = <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connect_Four">Connect Four</a> (or <em>Four in a Row</em>) is a two-player strategy game. Each player takes turns dropping a chip of his color into a column. The first player to align four chips wins.

about_history_title = History
about_history = The Connect 4 game is a solved strategy game: the first player (Red) has a winning strategy allowing him to always win. The game has been independently solved by James Dow Allen and Victor Allis in 1988.

about_solver_title = Connect 4 Solver
about_solver = This Connect 4 solver computes the exact outcome of any position assuming both players play perfectly. A score can be displayed for each playable column: winning moves have a positive score and losing moves have a negative score. The absolute value of the score gives you the number of moves <em>before</em> the end of the game. Hence the best moves have the highest scores. You can play against the Artificial Intelligence by toggling the manual/auto mode of a player.

about_algorithm_title = The Algorithm
