Wythoff's Game (Get Home)

Wythoff's Game is played on a chessboard. Two players take it in turns to move a piece. That piece can move any number of square to the left, and number of squares down, or any number of squares on a down-left diagonal. The winner is the player who moves the piece to the bottom-left square
