2Authored explanation

Duchene, Fraenkel, Gravier, and Nowakowski define \(\operatorname{Wyt}_K\) for any subset \(K\) of the positive integers. Its moves reduce one heap arbitrarily or reduce both heaps by the same \(k\in K\). The present game is exactly their construction with \[ K=\{1,4,9,16,\ldots\}. \] Their explicit P-position results cover singleton sets and selected infinite sets of powers of two. The paper supplies the established name and ruleset framework.

A focused search covered the exact initial pairs, square-restricted diagonal moves, Wyt_K, Nimhoff games, and OEIS sequence searches for both coordinate sequences. It found no source stating the gap-50 witness or the 100,000-position maximum. This search is evidence about the sources checked on 2026-07-24; it leaves novelty of the finite computation unverified.
