First mover advantage / disadvantage in game theory: Board game puzzle

time7 d agoview10 views

Two players, R and B, take turns placing coins on a board without overlapping. In the original game, Player R can guarantee a win using a mirroring strategy. But when the board is modified with a hole in the center, the advantage flips to Player B. This simple twist reveals how first-mover advantage isn’t always guaranteed — a key idea in game theory.

Watch to understand the strategy, the logic behind it, and why small changes can flip a winning position.
