... Player I, by playing his first (pure) strategy guarantees a gain of at least 2 = Min {8, 2, 9, 5}. Similarly the second strategy guarantees at least 5 = Min {6, 5, 7, 8}, and the third, −4 = Min {7, 3, −4, 7}. Thus the “row minimum” is the value guaranteed I for each pure strategy. Player I, if he s ...
