  1. Here's a solution worked out by the program "Checkerboard":

    White moves: 27-24

    B: 20x27

    W: 23-19

    B: 16x23

    W: 15-19

    B: 23x16

    W: 14-9

    B: 13x15

    W: 18x20

    B: 3 x 10

    (at this point, White has one piece and one King, while Black has four pieces and a King)

    W: 20-24

    B: 25 x 18

    (now, Black has 4 pieces plus a King, while White has a lone King).

    Here comes the winning move:

    W: 24 x 6

    White removes all of blacks pieces but one, including Black's King

    Now, White has a King on 6, while Black just has a piece on 8.  It's all over

    B: 8-12

    W: 6-10

    B: 12-16

    W: 10-15

    B: 16-20

    W: 15-19

    White has a King on 19, Black has a piece on 20

    B: 20-24

    W:  19 x 28, game over

    Pretty cool

    I had to use the "5 second" move mode, when I tried the 1 second mode, the game ended in a draw
