21:40 Gulchen That is actually a winning move for Red. :-)

21:41 Guest 296232 ok, then a2

21:41 Gulchen We could do [I show it] or [I let you start with that] or [I play a bad second move, to give you the win].

21:41 Guest 296232 yeah lets do it so that i can see

21:42 Gulchen (though a2 indeed results in Blue winning)

21:43 Gulchen Now, b3 is the simple win for Red.

21:44 Guest 296232 Yes, you are right. I was going to say the same :)

21:44 Gulchen I'm trying to figure out who would be winning if I played e3 now.

21:45 Gulchen I now see that too would win for Red.

21:45 Guest 296232 took back their move.

21:45 Gulchen Now, Red has exactly 1 winning move.

21:46 Guest 296232 Yes, c3. Do I have another choice for my first move?

21:46 Gulchen I think b3 was Blue's best try, and

21:47 Gulchen if Blue now plays c4 instead of d1, then Red again has exactly 1 winning move, and in this case it would not be the obvious one.

21:50 Gulchen e3 wins for Red, but I'm instead setting up another puzzle for you:

21:50 Gulchen Blue now has exactly 1 winning move.

21:51 Guest 296232 this was the move, right?

21:51 Gulchen That is not it: d4 connects to the E-edge, but doesn't help towards the A-edge.

21:51 Guest 296232 Sorry, I looked wrong ...

21:53 Gulchen Does the spectator want to play?

21:54 Gulchen I guess again no, so: I go first and my first move is a2?

21:54 Guest 296232 The spectator has the same name as mine. But I don't have any other tab open with the game.

21:54 Guest 296232 Yes, let's try that.
