Given a  chessboard 5 x 5 , two people play a game by in turn marking a number in an empty cell. Person 1 always marks number 1, whereas person 2 always marks number  0. Each time, each person is allowed to mark 1 number until there is no empty cell. Person 1 marks first.  
 
As the game finished, a referee will sum all number in  cells that make a square of  3x3.  Note that there are a number of 3x3 squares in the original 5x5 chessboard. Let  A be the greatest number among these sums.
 
What is the maximal value of A that person 1 can make regradless of person 2 strategy? How person 1 can achieve this sum?
 
Have A Great Day!
