Strictly determined game
![]() | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand.(January 2017) |
In game theory, a strictly determined game is a two-player zero-sum game that has at least one Nash equilibrium with both players using pure strategies. The value of a strictly determined game is equal to the value of the equilibrium outcome.[1][2][3][4][5] Most finite combinatorial games, like tic-tac-toe, chess, draughts, and go, are strictly determined games.
Notes[]
The study and classification of strictly determined games is distinct from the study of Determinacy, which is a subfield of set theory.
