Bridg-it on Graphs • Two players and alternately claim edges from the blue and the red lattice respectively. • Edges must not cross. • Objective: build a bridge • 1: connect left and right • 2: connect bottom and top • Who wins Bridg-it?
Who wins Bridg-it? TheoremThe player who makes the first move wins Bridg-it. Proof (Strategy stealing) • Suppose Player 2 has a winning strategy. • Player 1’s first move is arbitrary. Then Player 1 pretends to be Player 2 by playing his strategy.(Note: here we use that the field is symmetric!) • Hence, Player 1 wins, which contradicts our assumption.
The Tool for Player 1 PropositionSuppose T and T’ are spanning trees of a connected graph G and e2E(T) nE(T’). Then there exists an edge e’ 2E(T’) nE(T) such that T – e + e’ is a spanning tree of G.
