zero game

    Keywords: Theory

In combinatorial game theory, the term zero game (or simply zero) means any game in which the first player to move loses.

Zero has a canonical form, one that may be reduced no further, which is { | }. Note that this game has no options, and is therefore a loss for the first player. Of course, zero is also written as 0.

For examples in go see Zero in CGT terms.
