"Nim on a sequence of cells"
 
   Hello, can anybody tell me how cand this game be reduced to the classical Nim game?
We have an array with K cells. We also have N black pawns (for the player A) and N white pawns (for the player B), located alternately (white, black, white black etc). Alternately, two players A and B move one of their own pawns back or forward. The pawns cannot coexist in the same cell, neither to jump over the other pawn. The player unable to perform a move (all its pawns are blocked) is the looser of the game. Find a perfect strategy for computer, the other player being a human one.

Thank you
