Question: Hard double integral

How to find the integral
,

assuming k and n  integer?
It is known (McCrea W. H., Whipple F. J. W.Random paths in two and three dimensions, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh. 1940. V. 60. P. 281–298) that

G(n,n)=2/Pi*sum(1/(2*k-1),k=1..n).

The general case is reduced to the case k=n.
This is not a creature of pure reason: the one appears in electric circuits
(see M. Skopenkov, A. Paharev, A. Ustinov, Through resistor net, Mat. pros. Issue 18 (2014), 33-65, in Russian, http://www.mccme.ru/free-books/matpros/pdf/mp-18.pdf).
I found G(8,8) = 182144/(45045*Pi) in 657.797 s and G(9,9) = 3186538/(765765*Pi) in 4157.687 s on my comp by

restart; s := time():(1/2)*VectorCalculus:-int((1-cos(9*Pi*x)*cos(9*Pi*y))/(sin((1/2)*Pi*x)^2+sin((1/2)*Pi*y)^2), [x, y] = Rectangle(0 .. 1, 0 .. 1)); time()-s;
Mathematica 10.3.0 does G(9,9) in 250.391 s on my comp.
