Boris S. Verkhovsky · International Journal of Communications Network and System Sciences · 2010

A Nim-type computer game of strategy on plane is described in this paper. It is demonstrated that winning strategies of this two-person game are determined by a system of equations with two unknown integer sequences. Properties of winning points/states are discussed and an O(loglogn) algorithm for the winning states is provided. Two varieties of the Game are also introduced and their winning strategies are analyzed.
