I think everybody strongly interested in connect-4 should have a look
at

	A Knowledge-based Approach of Connect-Four
	(The game is solved: White wins)

	Victor Allis

	Masters Thesis, 1988

	1988, Report IR-163, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science
	Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands
or
	1992, Report CS 92-04, Faculty of General Sciences
	University of Limburg, Maastricht, The Netherlands

The implemented system always wins with White on the standard board.
