Problem

Given a board (divided into squares) of the size: a) 10×12, b) 9×10, c) 9×11, consider the game with two players where: in one turn a player is allowed to cross out any row or any column if there is at least one square not crossed out. The loser is the one who cannot make a move. Is there a winning strategy for one of the players?
