A version of minimax for zero-sum games. The minimax matrix is used again but its interpretation is changed. The playoff of the player whose choices are shown as columns, has the negative of the numbers shown on the matrix. One notes that the opponent now has a nested interest in giving up as little as possible ... if both sides more conservatively they would both play "Don't". This is a rather stable situation, different from the minimax one: here, no cooperation is possible between the two players. One gains exactly what the other loses. 3, record 2, English, - negamax
