Problem Statement

There are m \plus{} 1 horizontal lines and m m vertical lines on the plane so that m(m \plus{} 1) intersections are made. A mark is placed at one of the m m points of the lowest horizontal line. 2 players play the game of the following rules on this lines and points. 1. Each player moves a mark from a point to a point along the lines in turns. 2. The segment is erased after a mark moved along it. 3. When a player cannot make a move, then he loses. Prove that the lead always wins the game. PS I haven't found a student who solved it. There can be no one.
