The Gemstone game on the same site is pretty cool... I don't think I can win... ever.

I figured it out. You can only win if you go first (assuming that the other contestant knows the game):

Greg-R:
I've tried going first on the gemstone game, and it still keeps beating me. Did you actually beat this game, or just telling me how it beat me?
I've tried leaving him with the numbers you listed, but it seems like he's always leaving me with the next one down!

Matt: I just beat the gemstone game, so it is possible. 
The way I look at it is...the key to winning is be sure YOU are the one that gets it down to 13 gemstones. On your next turn, get it down to 9, and you're all set. |

I will elaborate a little more than Greg, in case someone is still in doubt. | |
