Read a position

A move must enclose at least one opposing disc between the new disc and one you already own. Check every direction because one placement can flip several lines.

A detail to notice

Corners cannot be flipped. A square beside an empty corner can give the opponent access to it, so compare future legal moves rather than choosing only the largest immediate flip.
