X<=4 is a win if the board is small enough, that can be proven easily either by search or by hand. x=5 i think is a win, 'The Danish Variatin' I think the opening is named. But I might be wrong there. A handicap system was invented (Russian opening) where the first move was made in the center, and after the reply the next move had to be outside a 5x5 square centered on the starting piece. x=6, I'm not sure if its proven but it should be possible. But anyways PN search should come in handy, either as the main search or to safeguard a brute-force search from playing loosing moves. Regards Dan Andersson
