Two players, $A$ (first player) and $B$, take alternate turns in playing a game using 2016 chips as follows: [i]the player whose turn it is, must remove $s$ chips from the remaining pile of chips, where $s \in \{ 2,4,5 \}$[/i]. No one can skip a turn. The player who at some point is unable to make a move (cannot remove chips from the pile) loses the game. Who among the two players can force a win on this game?

A round-robin tournament among $2n$ teams lasted for $2n-1$ days, as follows. On each day, every team played one game against another team, with one team winning and one team losing in each of the $n$ games. Over the course of the tournament, each team played every other team exactly once. Can one necessarily choose one winning team from each day without choosing any team more than once?
