It has been a while since I read this one, but I recall it being written more confusingly than necessary for the introductory game theory material.
Game theory is in many ways the way we interact with games as example of life situational happenings so choosing theorem that best indicate how two people will act in zero sum problems or noncooperative games for example competitive play then we can deduce our rivals next move
