Whatever its veracity, that result/writeup/claim is at least a couple
years old according to Wikipedia history.

Hi,
I have just been told by a colleague that Edouard Rodrigues solved hex
mathematically. I was very surprised because I had never heard about it.
The web site with the proof and optimal strategy is there:
http://jeudhex.com/?page_id=17
I did not look at it in details, but it seems his method can find an optimal
move on any position and any board size.
Did the computer-hex people of this list knew about it? I know there was an Hex
tournament in Leiden, so I suppose the computer Hex community might not be
aware of this result. Or maybe the mathematical result is wrong?
Please circulate this information to the Hex specialists. I am curious about
their opinion.
I'll take time tomorrow to study that web site a little.
Rémi
