The players jointly control the movement of a token. One player, Magnus, aims to maximize the number of positions visited while minimizing the number of rounds. The other player, Derek, attempts to minimize the number of visited positions. We present a new strategy for Magnus that succeeds in visiting the maximal number of positions in 3(n – 1) rounds, which is the optimal number of rounds up to a constant factor. http://www.mdpi.com/1999-4893/3/3/244/ Thu, 15 Jul 2010 00:00:00 CEST Algorithms 2010-07-15 3 3 Article 244 254 1999-4893 An O(n)-Round Strategy for the Magnus-Derek Game 2010-07-15 doi: 10.3390/a3030244 Nedev
