2012 Pre - Vietnam Mathematical Olympiad, 4

Two people A and B play a game in the $m \times n$ grid ($m,n \in \mathbb{N^*}$). Each person respectively (A plays first) draw a segment between two point of the grid such that this segment doesn't contain any point (except the 2 ends) and also the segment (except the 2 ends) doesn't intersect with any other segments. The last person who can't draw is the loser. Which one (of A and B) have the winning tactics?

A beam of light strikes $\overline{BC}$ at point $C$ with angle of incidence $\alpha=19.94^\circ$ and reflects with an equal angle of reflection as shown.

A token starts at the point $(0,0)$ of an $xy$-coordinate grid and them makes a sequence of six moves. Each move is $1$ unit in a direction parallel to one of the coordinate axes. Each move is selected randomly from the four possible directions and independently of the other moves. The probability the token ends at a point on the graph of $|y|=|x|$ is $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
