Title: Impartial Games

Abstract:  An impartial game is a game in which two players, taking 
turns, make a move allowed in the game, each having complete information 
and where no chance is involved. The allowed moves, in any given state 
in the game, are the same for both players. In normal play, a player 
unable to move looses.

In this talk I will discuss the remarkable fact that all impartial games 
are essentially the same.

AT THE END OF THE TALK, A COFFEE BREAK WILL BE OFFERED AT THE BAR 
(Leonardo Building)

Venue: Luigi Stasi Seminar Room (ICTP Leonardo da Vinci Building, first 
floor)
