This is just how our brains are taught to function (for example, when you're taught to count, you say 1, 2, 3, 4). Once your ship has been found, the natural guess for your opponent is to guess in numerical order. Just by reading those two sets of four (A1-A4 and A3-D3), did you notice it was easier to quickly read A1-A4 and that your brain kind of "hiccups" or "stutters" (aka you had to read it a little slower) trying to adjust to reading A3-D3? See the reason why that is next.Ĥa. Now, instead of your opponent seeing the gap on their board and guessing your ship at A1, A2, A3, and A4.your ship is now hidden better at A3, B3, C3, and D3 (for example). So, if you place them vertically, you reduce your chances of the ships being found. My guess is that it's probably natural because (in North America and a lot of other countries) we read left to right horizontally. When someone is scanning their board for your ships, they will tend to look across the board (more then they look up and down the board) for a guess, meaning they will start looking at the horizontal spaces and gaps (naturally) when determining where they think your ships are. Horizontal ships take up a lot more space over more columns, giving your opponent an advantage to finding them sooner. If you place your ships mostly vertical, it will help them get hit a lot less. This takes way more thought and strategic placement, which in turn, yields better results and more wins for you! Such places to put your ships are: H8, I2, F6, C7, etc.Ĥ. Things that don't roll off the tongue easily will be your best bet for hiding your ships. Put your ships in harder-to-say locations. I don't know why this is, per se, but it's a fact (just put it to the test). People tend to naturally-second-naturedly-guess the places that they can easily say. In addition to avoiding columns 1, 5, and 10, also avoid anywhere that you can easily say, or that rolls off the tongue easily. If you want to hide your ships the stealthiest, always avoid putting them in these columns.Ģ. After playing a lot of Battleship, and observing the most routinely guessed locations, I've discovered that columns 1, 5, and 10 are literally the most highly guessed columns EVERY TIME. In order to place your ships in the most ideal locations, consider the following tips.ġ.
