I'm not sure how much use this will be. This nugget seems a bit obvious to me, but on the other hand, lots of things are obvious after someone explains them.

If you are in a situation where you need another 2 seeds to win and you have 2 seeds in you Pot 6 (position 6) and your opponent has 1 seed in their Pot 1, but they have other seeds they can move to avoid distributing a seed to Pot 2 where it will be gathered...

If you can get 2 seeds in Pot 5 you will then be able to gather the 2 seeds no matter what you opponent does. If they have enough seeds in a pot that they can sabotage your Pots 5 and/or 6 they will also have given you seeds that you can make trivial moves with until they are forced to move the seed in their Pot 1 to a place where you can gather it.
