@Nitish, I think it fails for this condition 4 heaps with 1,2,1,2
Player 1 starts first with picking 1 coin from heap 1 Player 2 picks 2 coins from heap 2 Player 1 picks 1 coin from heap 3 Player 2 picks 2 coins from heap 4. Player 2 wins but XOR of the number of coins in each heap is 0(if that is what you meant).
