simple, but according to <a href="mailto:glu@who.net">David Glaude</a> and other
players, the game is, at best (due to limitations on board size and number of
stones) a draw. With less restrictions, Boku has probably a big first player
	advantage (like Gomoku and Pente without opening restrictions).</font></p>
