In the central cell of a \(7 \times 7\) square grid, there is a token. Two players take turns moving this token to an adjacent cell that shares a side with the current cell. The first player can move the token in the same direction as the previous move made by the second player or turn left. The second player can either move the token in the same direction as the previous move made by the first player or turn right. The first player starts with a move in any arbitrary direction.
