@Finlay: You can find them at https://github.com/mscroggs/MENACE-pdf.... The files boxes0.pdf to boxes3.pdf are the boxes for a MENACE that plays first.

@Matthew: Thank you for such a quick response. Just to let you know that that link did not work after .../tree/master/output, but I managed to search around for the right files :). In these files MENACE plays the Nought right? and the user plays the Cross?
