Hi i need some help from you.
I have an essay to wrote and i need your help.

i have to write about :
why you think game theory is the best technique for solving 2 player games such as connect four ???

Please if it is possible give your answers or maybe some links that wrote about why game theory is the best technique of sovling that kind of games!
Thank you
chris

I don't think game theory applies to Connect 4. "Games" in game theory generally involve the winning or loss of some sort of utility- that is not the case with Connect 4.

ok then maybe thats my tutors mistake, or my misunderstood, i will change the question :
why do you think game theory is the best technique for solving 2 player games ?

For games with single, dominant startegies, game theory provides a method for maximizing utility, and is therefor as good as one could hope for. To the extent that one accepts the assumptions of games for which mixed strategies can be derived, the same is true for them. In the case of games which require yet more assumptions, I think game theory provides only a useful framework of analysis, not firm conclusions regarding "the right thing to do".

Are you talking about "game theory", as in Von Neumann, Nash, Morgenstern, etc.? Perhaps you mean something else, such as game tree search?

Task A: Just give a brief history of game theory, and then talk about why you think it is the best technique for solving 2 player games such as connect four.

Thats exactly his mail, thats exactly what the assignment asks for.
Thanks for all your help
