You are correct that playing on the opponent's edge can be a winning first move so my guess is I was missing some words there. My apologies. | |

| Oct 27, 2021 at 10:14 | comment | added | Peter Taylor | It's not entirely clear what you're defining as an "edge move", since there are some corner moves on 4x4 which are wins for the first player according to Henderson, Arneson and Hayward. It seems from their results and Pawlewicz and Hayward's extension that playing on the edge that the first player wants to connect is bad, unless in the corner of the short diagonal, but playing on the second player's edge is not necessarily bad for larger $n$. | |
