>Player 1 says 9 and win. In this game player one will always win as long as number is greate than 11.
In this example the MAX_CHOICE is the highest number the player can choose so 9 instead of 11 is the max.

1 says 9
2 says 10

Now whatever player 1 says
2 says 20 and wins.

1 says 19
2 says 20 and wins.
