| May 18, 2018 at 17:27 | comment | added | DukeZhou | I was lucky to have a correspondence with with Aviezri Fraenkel for a few months and he was gracious in explaining the scope of the field of CGT (ever expanding as the tools for mathematical analysis expand.) My sense of CGT is that it is concerned with solving, or proving the unsolvability, of games that have a combinatorial nature. Initially this was restricted to sequential 2 player, non-chance, perfect information games, but Fraenkel made a point of TS Ferguson's work in poker to as a demonstration of the expansion in scope. | |

Elkies | Combinatorial game theory can also be summarized as an extension of the Sprague-Grundy theory en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprague-Grundy_theorem of impartial games ( = generalized Nim ) to games that may be "partial" in the sense that the two opponents needn't always have the same move sets. | |
