(#1009271 Pascal Huybers vs. Carroll, the first board)

Solved board sizes

Size 1 and 2:

• first player wins

Solution for size 3:

• first move in corner wins
• other first move loses

Size 4:

• is much more difficult than size 3 and not known yet
• probably most first moves are winning (i.e. should be swapped), however e.g. first move on an edge is not clear
