There are two piles of stones: $1703$ stones in one pile and $2022$ in the other. Sasha and Olya play the game, making moves in turn, Sasha starts. Let before the player's move the heaps contain $a$ and $b$ stones, with $a \geq b$. Then, on his own move, the player is allowed take from the pile with $a$ stones any number of stones from $1$ to $b$. A player loses if he can't make a move. Who wins? Remark: For 10.4, the initial numbers are $(444,999)$
