This "geek reference = insta-laughs" is getting on my nerves; the newest comic is an atrocious mix of easy humour, fanboy pleasing and emo whining.

Either White has a strategy that leads to checkmate, or only one that leads to stalemate, probably the former. White always plays that strategy. It's different from, say, the prisoner's dillemma because there's no meta-game reason to do anything else except ignorance of the strategies, and game theory assumes rational participants. The Nash equilibrium exists, but it's boring.<br /><br />I don't appreciate the insult, by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-11370287120049856082009-06-25T07:57:08.633-07:002009-06-25T07:57:08.633-07:00@ Anon 1:08 pm : "He didn't even get it r...@ Anon 1:08 pm : "He didn't even get it right nerd-wise; chess is not considered a meanginful 'game' as far as game theory goes."<br /><br />Maybe if you're an idiot. Define the strategy sets as the mixed extension over all sequences of legal moves, the payoff from winning as 1, the payoff from losing as -1, and a tie as 0. Chess has rules about ending exogenously if 'nothing has happened in awhile', like moving the same piece back and forth to avoid losing, and the game ends in a draw, so the set of all sequences of legal moves is finite. So a Nash equilibrium exists; there are strategies for which the two players have no incentive to change how they're playing unless the other one does. Actually, Chess can be solved by throwing out strategies that are strictly dominated by other strategies, so the first player has a unique strategy (that involves no random decisions) that always wins; we just can't find it, because the set of all sequences of legal moves is crazy big. That all sounds pretty meaningful and nerdy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-89180057108899394032009-06-25T07:24:49.707-07:002009-06-25T07:24:49.707-07:00@Mike G:
