White can win with 2.D4

If now 3.E4** 4.C2* 5.C5* 6.B5**
If Black tries to draw with 5.B5 instead of C5*,
White can then play 6.E6*
White can connect E6 to E8 via C7 or G7. For example,
If 7.G8* 8.C7-D6/E8+E6/C7/E8
If Black tries 3.C4* 4.E2* 5.E5* 6.F5** wins.
White cannot win with 2.E4* because of 3.F3* 4.G3* 5.H2**
2.F5* runs into the same problem.
