  • Abstract
    This paper introduces two new categories of players, an equalization player, with the goal to minimize the score gap between the opponents, and a variation enhancement player, with the goal to maximize the same. In addition, a complementary player type is added to the classic max-player game, called the min-player, along with a mathematical formalization of basic strategies, yielding a new algorithm based on Hypermax.
