State

In a solved game some positions are lost for the player to move: every available action hands the opponent a winning position.

Show

Pebbles with three left — take one or take two, the opponent inherits a win either way.

Watch for

Lost does not mean badly played; from a poisoned position, best play loses more slowly, not differently.
