Space increases movement
The number of cards you can move depends on open cells and empty columns. Preserving both keeps the tableau flexible.
Have an exit plan
Before placing a run in an empty column, know which destination will let you empty it again.
Do not chase emptiness at any cost
A costly column clear can be worse than waiting if it buries low cards or fills every cell.
Keep in mind
- Count your open cells.
- Know how the run leaves.
- Protect at least one workspace.
