The games we will consider are:

• two-person: there are two players.
• perfect information: both players have complete information about the state of the game. (Chess has this property, but poker does not.)
• zero-sum: if we count a win as +1, a tie as 0, and a loss as -1, the sum of scores for both players is always zero.

Examples of such games are chess, checkers, and tic-tac-toe.
