I wonder why the game of Swap five in Line is so unbalanced: more than 60% won by black.
And who is 'black' in this statistic? The player who places black stones / crosses, as it says literally, or (IMO more logical) the player who starts the game by placing the first 3 stones?
Thom27: Well, as the first player you should make a position which is close to 50:50, so player 2 can pick anything. In practise, player 2 has a slight edge like in every game with swap rule.
