Being\u00a0a gametheorist it is only natural that I also like to play games. My favorite game is draughts (in Dutch: dammen). From a gametheoretic point of view I can say that draughts is a stochastic game with perfect information, which possesses stationary optimal strategies, so it is clearly related to my work.\u00a0I will every once in a while post some interesting position or analysis here. If you are interested in this game: We have a very nice club here in Maastricht.<\/p>\n

In this\u00a0I game managed to play a draw against him, thereby\u00a0preventing him\u00a0\u00a0from winning the tournament.
