BALTIC-WAY 2018 Problem 9

    Olga and Sasha play a game on an infinite hexagonal grid. They take turns in placing a stone on a free hexagon of their choice. Olga starts the game. Just before the 2018th stone is placed, a new rule comes into play. A stone may now be placed only on those free hexagons having at least two occupied neighbors.

    A player loses when she or he either is unable to make a move, or has filled a pattern of the rhomboid shape as shown (rotated in any possible way). Determine which player, if any, possesses a winning strategy.
