A study concerned with the mathematical treatment of planning under conditions of conflict. A zero-sum two-person game is defined to be symmetric if it has an automorphism that permutes the players. This definition includes many games that do not have a skew-symmetric payoff matrix. It is shown how a general symmetric matrix game can always be reduced by block decomposition to skew-symmetric form.
