Problem Statement

On a board there is a regular polygon A1A2A99.A_1A_2\ldots A_{99}. Ana and Barbu alternatively occupy empty vertices of the polygon and write down triangles on a list: Ana only writes obtuse triangles, while Barbu only writes acute ones.
At the first turn, Ana chooses three vertices X,YX,Y and ZZ and writes down XYZ.\triangle XYZ. Then, Barbu chooses two of X,YX,Y and Z,Z, for example XX and YY, and an unchosen vertex TT, and writes down XYT.\triangle XYT. The game goes on and at each turn, the player must choose a new vertex RR and write down PQR\triangle PQR, where PP is the last vertex chosen by the other player, and QQ is one of the other vertices of the last triangle written down by the other player.
If one player cannot perform a move, then the other one wins. If both people play optimally, determine who has a winning strategy.
