Asymptotic slope conjecture for upper P-positions in Maharaja Nim

Let k,lNk,l\in\mathbb{N} with k<lk<l, and consider (k,l)(k,l)-Maharaja Nim, obtained from Wythoff Nim by adjoining moves of the form (k,l)(k,l) and (l,k)(l,k). An upper P-position is a losing position (x,y)(x,y) with xyx\leq y. Asymptotic slope conjecture. Every upper P-position (x,y)(x,y) of (k,l)(k,l)-Maharaja Nim satisfies

y=ϕx+O(1),y=\phi x+O(1),

where ϕ\phi is the golden ratio. The conjecture predicts that the upper P-positions remain within bounded distance of the line of slope ϕ\phi, uniformly for every fixed pair k<lk<l; the source does not provide evidence of a proof or disproof.
