What you need to know, from your first match to ranked play.
Choose Practice to learn the game before entering Competition. Two-player rooms count toward your ranking; practice against the computer does not affect it.
Name your room and add a password if you want a private match. Once the other player joins, both players select Ready and the host starts the match. Locked rooms require a password. You cannot join a room that is full or already in a match.
The block has 9 cells. Split it into two pieces of 3 to 6 cells each. Each piece must be connected along cell edges. Players alternate splitting and choosing across rounds; the player who did not split chooses first.
