It’s not a binary. There’s a non-zero chance of me winning, and a non-zero chance of me losing. You assume that if there’s a winning strategy, it should win 100% of the time, and if it doesn’t, it should not win at all. I’ve tried very hard to impress upon people that this is not the case at all—there’s no “easy” winning method that I could take and guarantee a victory. I just have to do it the hard way, and luck is usually a huge factor in these games.
As it stands, there are people willing to pay up to $300-$750 for me to play them without the condition of giving up logs, and I have still chosen not to play. Your offer to play without monetary reward and needing to give up logs if I lose is not very tempting in comparison, so I’ll pass.

My point is that the GK has an easy winning strategy. Any GK that lost or won but found it very hard to win was just playing poorly.
You and other people (including GKs) claim otherwise, but you don’t want to provide any evidence to support your claim. Since you claim is surprising, the burden of evidence lies on you.
I’m offering to play as GK with the condition of publishing the log in case of my victory in order to settle the question.

I think that asking for or offering money in order to provide the evidence required to settle an intellectual dispute is inappropriate. Moreover, I’m trying to make the game easier for you: the less I’m investing, the less I’m motivated to win.
