A solved game is a game whose outcome can be correctly predicted from any position, assuming that both players play perfectly. This concept is usually applied to abstract strategy games, and especiall
Combinatorial game theory
…given that the strictest definitions of "game" imply the involvement of multiple participants. A key concept in combinatorial game theory is that of the solved game. For instance, tic-tac-toe is solved in that optimal play by both participants always results in a draw. Determining such outcomes for more complex…
