OK, here is how you can beat this game every single time, going first or second, without opening another window or anything like that. It is kind of complicated, but you get the hang of it.
First, you need to know how to convert things into binary. Binary is 1's an 0's, so here is 1 through 6 in binary: 1=1, 2=10, 3=11, 4=100, 5=101, 6=110. What you have to do is add up each row. In the beginning, there are rows of 6, 5, 4, and 3. In binary, that is 110, 101, 100, and 11. When you add them up, that comes out to 322. Your goal is always to have each digit be even at the end of your turn. So, for example, if you take out the row of 4 (100 in binary), when you add them all up it comes out to 222, which has 3 even digits. Continue doing this until the very end of the game, when your moves should be obvious. This strategy works if you go 1st or second because the comp will always make a bad move with his first move if he goes first.
