(#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
