Guides and resources

- Matthew Seymour's Hex puzzles. A collection of 500 interactive puzzles. These puzzles start easy, then gradually get harder. Great tactics training. Very addictive!
- Hex: A Strategy Guide. A free interactive online book by Matthew Seymour. Great introduction to basic, intermediate and some advanced Hex strategy.
