Editing Minimax (section)

=== Maximin ===
Frequently, in game theory, '''maximin''' is distinct from minimax. Minimax is used in zero-sum games to denote minimizing the opponent's maximum payoff. In a [[zero-sum game]], this is identical to minimizing one's own maximum loss, and to maximizing one's own minimum gain.

"Maximin" is a term commonly used for non-zero-sum games to describe the strategy which maximizes one's own minimum payoff. In non-zero-sum games, this is not generally the same as minimizing the opponent's maximum gain, nor the same as the [[Nash equilibrium]] strategy.
