Solution Summary
A zero sum game is a game that when the wins and losses are add up in a game, the sum is zero for each set of strategies chosen. The zero sum game is a game in which one player's winning equal the other player's losses. The definition requires a zero sum for every set of strategies. If there is even one strategy set for which the sum differs from zero, then the game is not zero sum.
