Using the digits: $ 1,2,3,4,5,$ players $ A$ and $ B$ compose a $ 2005$-digit number $ N$ by selecting one digit at a time: $ A$ selects the first digit, $ B$ the second, $ A$ the third and so on. Player $ A$ wins if and only if $ N$ is divisible by $ 9$. Who will win if both players play as well as possible?
