The Japanese game go-moku is played by two players, “X” and “O” on a 19 × 19 grid. Players take turns placing markers, and the first player to achieve five of her markers consecutively in a row, column, or diagonal is the winner. Consider this game generalized to an n × n board.

Consider the following two-person version of the language that was described in Problem 7.28. Each player starts with an ordered stack of puzzle cards. The players take turns placing the cards in order in the box and may choose which side faces up. Player I wins if all hole positions are blocked in the final stack, and Player II wins if some hole position remains unblocked. To prove that the problem of determining which player has a winning strategy for a given starting configuration of the cards is PSPACE-Complete.
