Traditional Game theory deals with games that people don't actually play.
This is a scandal! By contrast WE will study a type of game
theory that applies to games people really DO play such as
Chess, Bridge, Go, Backgammon, and others.

In studying these games we will learn some traditional game theory,
some combinatorial game theory, and some complexity of games.

We will also look at how computers play games Some games are EASY
for a computer (just ask Kasporov).  Some games are HARD for a computer
(e.g., Go).  What is the difference?

We will pick up the mathematics needed as we go along.
