Hello,

I would like to have some information on a game I once read a description of. 
I don't remember the name of the game nor of the book it was described in, 
but the rules are as follows:

The game is played on a 4x4 board with coins. Each of the two players 
can take any number (1-4) of coins as long as they are in the same
row or column. The player who takes up the last coin loses.

What I would like to know is:
    -The name of this game
    -The names of any books, articles etc. it is described in.
    -Is there some theory on this game (evaluation functions,algorithms)
    -Has an algorithm for this game ever been implemented.
    -Any other information on this game

If you have any of this information and would like to share it with me
please mail me: ajduinev@cs.vu.nl

Thanks in advance....

Arjo Duineveld.
