Games of No Chance 6

‘Games of No Chance are games with perfect information like Chess (about which chapter 15 says something new). They were pioneered by the renowned mathematicians Berlekamp, Conway and Guy. This volume demonstrates how this original and playful but serious branch of mathematics flourishes and grows.’ Bernhard von Stengel, London School of Economics and Political Science
