Tightened Goldbach conjecture

From papers

Let N\mathbb{N} denote the natural numbers and P\mathbb{P} the primes. For each nNn\in\mathbb{N} with n6n\geq 6, let knk_n be the index of the uniquely determined prime pknPp_{k_n}\in\mathbb{P} satisfying

pkn2+pkn2n<pkn+12+pkn+1.p_{k_n}^2+p_{k_n}\leq 2\cdot n<p_{k_n+1}^2+p_{k_n+1}.

Tightened Goldbach conjecture. For all n6n\geq 6, there exist primes q1,q2Pq_1,q_2\in\mathbb{P} such that

pkn<q1<pkn2,q1+q2=2n.p_{k_n}<q_1<p_{k_n}^2,\qquad q_1+q_2=2\cdot n.

The source reports verification for all nn with 122n10812\leq 2\cdot n\leq 10^8, but gives no proof for the remaining cases.
