Let $n$ be a positive integer. E. Chen and E. Chen play a game on the $n^2$ points of an $n \times n$ lattice grid. They alternately mark points on the grid such that no player marks a point that is on or inside a non-degenerate triangle formed by three marked points. Each point can be marked only once.

The ant and the spiders may vary their speeds, turn at an intersection point, stand still, or turn back at any point; moreover, they are aware of their and the others’ positions at all time. Assume that the ant’s speed does not exceed $1$ mm/s, the first spider’s speed does not exceed $\frac{\sin A}{2 \sin A+\sin B}$ mm/s, and the second spider’s speed does not exceed $\epsilon$ mm/s.

Note: the two spiders can discuss a plan before the hunt starts and after seeing all three starting points, but cannot communicate during the hunt.
