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 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?

• Sixth row template problem: 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?

• Two further open problems are posed by Jory in the Little Golem forum.
