3. Yeah, it's pretty rough
It can be beat, though. The pic in the OP is from a couple of years ago when I first found this online version. I managed a win in advanced mode while playing black (moving second). Fun little game.

4. Hey, isn't this the game that John Nash came up with?
Before he won the Nobel prize for best movie?

5. Yeah, and also Piet Hein, independently
The game was invented by the Danish mathematician Piet Hein, who introduced the game in 1942 at the Niels Bohr Institute, and also independently invented by the mathematician John Nash in 1947 at Princeton University. -wiki
