Winning ways for your mathematical plays: volume 2 - games in particular

This book discusses how maths games can be analysed to discover winning strategies, and how often more complex games may be a compound of several simpler ones. The analyses start with basic theory using simple examples, but progress to detailed case studies of well known games ranging from the elementary to the elaborate.
