My checkForWin() method

checkForWin(target) {
        const patternForWin = [
            [[0, 1], [0, 2], [0, 3]],
            [[3, 0], [2, 0], [1, 0]],
            [[2, 0], [1, 0], [-1, 0]],
            [[1, 0], [-1, 0], [-2, 0]],
            [[-1, 0], [-2, 0], [-3, 0]],
            [[1, 1], [2, 2], [3, 3]],
            [[1, 1], [2, 2], [-1, -1]],
            [[1, 1], [-2, -2], [-1, -1]],

         ];
         let x = target.x;
         let y = target.y;
         return patternForWin.some(pattern => pattern.every(values =>
