Step 1
1 of 3

A game having a value of 0 is a fair game.

A saddle point is the smallest entry in its row and the largest entry in its column.

The amount given by the saddle point is the value of the game.

As a counterexample, set up a payoff matrix in which 0 is the saddle point, and the entries do not sum up to 0.
