Open problems


 * Are there cells other than a1 and b1 which are theoretically losing first moves?


 * Is it true that for every cell (defined in terms of direction and distance from an acute corner) there is an n such that for any Hex board of size at least n that cell is a losing opening move?


 * Conversely, is it true that, for example, c3 is a winning first move on every Hex board of size at least 5?


 * Does there exist an edge template which guarantees a secure connection for a piece on the sixth row?


 * Is the center hex on every Hex board of odd size a winning opening move?
