Scenic trails ascending from sea-level Nim to alpine chess

preprint1995arXivOpen access

Abstract

Aim: Present a systematic development of part of the theory of combinatorial games from the ground up. Approach: Computational complexity. Combinatorial games are completely determined; the questions of interest are efficiencies of strategies. Methodology: Divide and conquer. Ascend from Nim to chess in small strides at a gradient that's not too steep. Presentation: Informal; examples of games sampled from various strategic viewing points along scenic mountain trails, which illustrate the theory.
