RU-ALLRUSSIAN 2018 Problem 108
- Grade 10
The board used for playing a game consists of the left and right parts. In each part there are several fields and there're several segments connecting two fields from different parts (all the fields are connected.) Initially, there is a violet counter on a field in the left part, and a purple counter on a field in the right part. Lyosha and Pasha alternatively play their turn, starting from Pasha, by moving their chip (Lyosha-violet, and Pasha-purple) over a segment to other field that has no chip. It's prohibited to repeat a position twice, i.e. can't move to position that already been occupied by some earlier turns in the game. A player losses if he can't make a move. Is there a board and an initial positions of counters that Pasha has a winning strategy?
