Given a 25*25 chess board, two players in turn put white and black figures on the squares of the board. The first player places the white figures and the second player the black ones.A figure may not be put on a square if the square is not empty or if all neighbouring squares are occupied by the figures of the same colour. The player who cannot place his figure loses. Find a winning strategy for one of the players(Remark: Squares are called neighbouring if they have a common side).
