This fascinating collection of articles by some of the top names in the field is a state-of-the-art look at combinatorial games. The articles run the gamut from new theoretical approaches, where computer science now plays as much of a role as mathematics, to the very latest in some of the hottest games, such as Amazons, Chomp, Dot-and-Boxes, Go, Chess, Hex. Most articles give information helpful in playing or analyzing the games, and some go so far as to give explicit strategies for solving them. This volume, like its predecessor, Games of No Chance, should be on the shelf of all serious combinatorial games enthusiasts.
