My apologies-- I just pulled out the strategy guide and it appears I must have mis-read the explanation for the puzzle. It reads:
"To our knowledge, nobody has a consistent strategy to beat this game...if anyone has been able to develop a consistent, repeatable strategy, send us a note.
One thing the computer (Stauf) will not do is move into an area of two empty spaces surrounded by other cells. This is obvious because then you could move into the remaining space and grab all those cells! Perhaps there's a strategy that makes use of this."
Also, as regards the difficulty level, it reads:
"Return to the library and read the book of hints, the AI of the Microscope game will decrease a little until, on the third visit to the Library, the puzzle will be solved for you."
I came very close to beating it once, but I think I must have just assumed it was impossible (like going second in tic-tac-toe)
