Infinitesimals:

In Combinatorial Game Theory (CGT) an infinitesimal is a non-zero combinatorial game? in which both the Left stop and the Right stop are 0. In CGT you win if your opponent has no move, so play with infinitesimals is concerned with getting the last move (tedomari). A great deal of CGT research has been concerned with play at temperature 0.

The simplest infinitesimal is * (star), also written

                   { 0 | 0 }

See Go Infinitesimals and Chilling.
