WEBINAR ALERT!
Join us July 15th for our next WG4 webinar with Miloš Stojakovic!
The talk titled, "Introduction to Positional Games" will take place Monday July 15th at 16:30-17:30 CET time.

Short abstract: The Theory of Positional Games is a fairly independent branch of Combinatorial Game Theory, nested between Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematics, with numerous applications in both fields. It deals with a class of two-player perfect-information games, ranging from popular games such as Tic-Tac-Toe and Hex to some purely abstract games played on graphs and networks. Though a close relative of the classical Game Theory of von Neumann and the Nim-like Game Theory popularized by Conway, positional games still preserve a unique flavor. In recent years this young field has witnessed an explosion of impressive results, fresh ideas and interesting problems, and our goal is to present some of them.
Looking forward to seeing you!
