Extract

1. A topological game is a game in which the positions are the points of a topological space; the set of possible moves from any such point varies continuously with the point. Play can start from any point of the space and at each point it is specified which of the players has the initiative. Play ends when a position is encountered at which the set of positions from which the player with the initiative can choose is empty. The payoff to each player depends on the set of positions met in the play. The notion of topological game is due to Berge (1), (2).
