If "Opp. parity" is "Diff", then go up the other column instead." So yes my bad I think you have full solution. | |

That's why you look for the losing position in the same column. You can always check the result by playing out all the variations: Let's say we both have 5 pebbles, so there's 5 left. I take 1. If you take 1, I take 3 and win. If you take 2, I take 3 and win. If you take 3, I take 1 and win. So 5 pebbles with odd is winning. | |
