This really is pure luck and it will only happen once in every thirty six games. There is nothing that can be done to overcome this small element of luck, but in other situations Black can steer the game in the direction he wants.
Many beginners run and play safe and infuriatingly win the game.
When this happens it is often the fault of the more experienced player playing the wrong type of game. Repeated hits by either player will result in complex situations that the inexperienced player may have difficulty in handling. It will also be a long positional struggle and the longer the game the greater the probability that the inexperienced opponent will make mistakes. Here is a situation where Black can make his own luck. When a player has a home board far stronger than the opponent's home board he should be hitting the opponent's blots ruthlessly.
