The eventual upper-bound conjecture for Tetris Nim

Let x=(x0,x1,x2)x=(x_0,x_1,x_2) be a position satisfying, for some kZk\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq}, 2k1<x1<x0+x1<2k2^{k-1}<x_1<x_0+x_1<2^k. Let u(x)=x0+x1+x2u(x)=x_0+x_1+x_2 be the upper bound. The eventual upper-bound conjecture. If either x0>1x_0>1 or x0=1x_0=1 and x1x_1 is odd, and if x2x_2 is sufficiently large, then G(x)=u(x)\mathcal{G}(x)=u(x). The conjecture formalizes the observed eventual regularity of the Sprague–Grundy function for large third coordinates, but “sufficiently large” is not quantified and the claim is unproved.
