  7. Combinatorial game theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_game_theory

    One of the most important concepts in the theory of combinatorial games is that of the sum of two games, which is a game where each player may choose to move either in one game or the other at any point in the game, and a player wins when his opponent has no move in either game. This way of combining games leads to a rich and powerful ...
