The Game of Nim

Rules: The game board consists of rows of matches. The players take turns removing any number of matches from a single row. On your turn, just hold the mouse button down, move through the matches that you want to remove, and then release the mouse button. If you change rows or move outside the game area, you will have to repeat your move. To see the program's move, click anywhere in the game area.

The last player to move wins the game.

Play as often as you like. Most of the time, you will have the advantage on your first move.
