Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the biased Maker-Breaker Hamiltonicity game. Let us recap the setting briefly. This is a (1 : b) Maker-Breaker game, played on the edge set of the complete graph K n . Maker’s aim is to construct a Hamilton cycle, and thus the family of winning sets coincides with the family of (the edge sets of) graphs on n vertices containing a Hamilton cycle. Breaker wins if he manages to put his edge into every Hamilton cycle of the complete graph K n by the end of the game.

If you ever dream of beating me… you better wake up and apologize.
