Playability and arbitrarily large rat games
Aviezri S. Fraenkel, Urban Larsson · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2017
In 1973 Fraenkel discovered interesting sequences which split the positive integers. These sequences became famous, because of a related unsolved conjecture. Here we construct combinatorial games, with `playable' rulesets, with these sequences constituting the winning positions for the second player.
