Topological game

A topological game is an infinite game of perfect information played between two players on a topological space. Players choose objects with topological properties such as points, open sets, closed sets and open coverings. Time is generally discrete, but the plays may have transfinite lengths, and extensions to continuum time have been put forth. The conditions for a player to win can involve notions like topological closure and convergence. It turns out that some fundamental topological constructions have a natural counterpart in topological games; examples of these are the Baire property, Baire spaces, completeness and convergence properties, separation properties, covering and base properties, continuous images, Suslin sets, and singular spaces. At the same time, some topological properties that arise naturally in topological games can be generalized beyond a game-theoretic context: by virtue of this duality, topological games have been widely used to describe new properties of topological spaces, and to put known properties under a different light. There are also close links with selection principles. The term topological game was first introduced by Claude Berge,who defined the basic ideas and formalism in analogy with topological groups. A different meaning for topological game, the concept of “topological properties defined by games”, was introduced in the paper of Rastislav Telgársky,and later "spaces defined by topological games";this approach is based on analogies with matrix games, differential games and statistical games, and defines and studies topological games within topology. After more than 35 years, the term “topological game” became widespread, and appeared in several hundreds of publications. The survey paper of Telgárskyemphasizes the origin of topological games from the Banach–Mazur game. There are two other meanings of topological games, but these are used less frequently. * The term topological game introduced by Leon Petrosjan in the study of antagonistic pursuit–evasion games. The trajectories in these topological games are continuous in time. * The games of Nash (the Hex games), the Milnor games (Y games), the Shapley games (projective plane games), and Gale's games (Bridg-It games) were called topological games by David Gale in his invited address [1979/80]. The number of moves in these games is always finite. The discovery or rediscovery of these topological games goes back to years 1948–49. (Wikipedia).

Grouping Games: More Spaces Than Elements // Logic Games [#02] [LSAT Analytical Reasoning]

The first game we tackled was a pretty basic one-to-one order game (which you can see here: https://youtu.be/LjrkGN4oN5U). Unfortunately, not all games have the same number of elements as spaces. In this case, the second game from the June 1991 LSAT is a grouping game in which we re-use th

By Their Powers Combined: Sudoku and LSAT // Logic Games [#20] [LSAT Analytical Reasoning]

When I teach LSAT games, one of the ways I introduce them is that they are like sudoku puzzles if you had to build your own grid every time and didn't have enough information to solve the puzzle. So I was pretty delighted when I worked the closest-to-actual-sudoku LSAT game I've ever seen.
