Two players, Aurelio and Bernardo, play the following game. Aurelio begins by writing the number $1$. Next it is Bernardo's turn, who writes number $2$. From then on, each player chooses whether to add $1$ to the number just written by the previous player, or whether multiply that number by $2$. Then write the result and it's the other player's turn. The first player to write a number greater than $ 2007$ loses the game. Determine if one of the players can ensure victory no matter what the other does.
