Starting player advantage in a two-player game

[spelare1003]

Are there any statistics on how large the first player advantage is in a two-player game? While the second player starts with one extra food, that surely doesn't compensate for the advantage of getting first to contested trophies, and the fact that the starting player gets a full turn extra if it is the second player that claims the last trophy. It would be nice to see how big the advantage for the first player is in games with capable players, say above 400 elo.

Yet you haven't mention the biggest advantage of being first.

There is even a worst disadvantage for the third player in 3 player

The end game behavior is a big advantage for first player since whoever trigger end game condition does not have extra turn, then the starting player have one extra turn if you trigger end game as second player. Some of the other game has equal turn rules, that is if you are second or last player and trigger end game conditions, everyone should play same number of turn and no extra turn for first player.
