Elwyn Berlekamp on counting the game

A short video on Numberphile: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjSOSeRZVNg

ERB died on the 9th of April.

You can find some of his combinatorial games lectures on Youtube

RIP. The video he did on Dots and Boxes is where I first learned the basic strategy of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KboGyIilP6k

Carroll: many thanks for posting this! Bad play by white but very gentle introduction by Elwyn.

simpledeep: Are you the creator of Minimize? If so, I've been trying to reach you (through BGG and LG messages)... still interested in that game?
