	Games - Hackenbush
		Hackenbush is a two-player mathematical game which may be played on any configuration of colored line segments connected to one another by their endpoints and to the ground.
		Hackenbush boards can consist of finitely many (in the case of a "finite board") or infinitely many (in the case of an "infinite board") line segments.
		Thus the versions of Hackenbush of interest in combinatorial game theory are more complex partisan games, meaning that the options (moves) available to one player would not necessarily be the ones available to the other player if he were given the same exact board.

		Hackenbush is a two-player partisan mathematical game that consists of several colored line segments connected to the ground.
		Hackenbush is a partisan game, meaning that the options (moves) available to one player would not necessarily be the ones available to the other player if he were given the same exact board.
		Hackenbush is fundamental to the study of combinatorial game theory and, indeed, is often one of the very first games taught to students in this field (see Combinatorial game theory (pedagogy)).

	Combinatorial Games (I): The World of Piles of Stones
		Along a horizontal L a graph is drawn which has vertices which lie along the line L. While traditionally the word graph is used to mean a structure with finitely many vertices and edges, here we bend the definition to allow infinitely many vertices and edges.
		The way Neutral Hackenbush works is that if one cuts any edge in the graph, this edge is removed from the graph together with any portions of the graph which would become disconnected (come tumbling down!) by the edge being cut.
		Cutting an edge in Neutral Hackenbush corresponds to removing a certain number of edges from a pile of stones.

	Lyrics to "Doctor Hackenbush"
		Hackenbush" was written for "A Day at the Races" by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby, and therefore bears and unsurprising resemblance in some spots to "Hooray for Captain Spaulding." It was never included in the film, however, which almost everyone now feels is a mistake.
		This seems curious in light of later events; Groucho was reputed to love the song and sing it at the drop of a hat, at parties, live shows, etc. Fortunately, he recorded the song for Decca in the 1950's, and it's currently available on a couple of CD's, e.g.
		HACKENBUSH: Right or wrong, wrong or right, Night and day, day and night, On his call you can always depend; With the possible exception of your mother and your father And your uncles and your brothers and your nephews and your nieces And your sisters and your cousins, whom you number by the dozens...

		Those novels, "Dr. Hackenbush Gets a Job"; "Dr. Hackenbush Gains Perspective", and; "Dr. Hackenbush Gets Around", cast a little light on the best and worst, but always scuffling to make ends meet, life of working class musicians, dancers, and artists in Los Angeles during the Reagan years.

		Hackenbush was written as an introduction for Groucho Marx in the Marx Brothers film, A Day at the Races.

	G13GAM -- Game Theory -- impartial hackenbush
		Equally a move in G has a symmetric counter in -G and vice versa; this move and counter either delete the articulation points and all that sail on them in both components [giving a zero game] or in neither, in which case we can again appeal to induction and the colon principle.
		Note that this works perfectly well even in general Hackenbush, but we need it here only in the impartial version.
		In the impartial version, the value of H will perforce be a nimber, so the component I might just as well be a `snake', a simple chain of n edges, n>=0, value *n, of the appropriate length.

		Morgan is eager for her to miss a mortgage payment so he can foreclose on the sanitarium and turn it into a casino.
		The fact that Hackenbush is actually a horse doctor with a long history of conning Upjohn is bound to complicate things.

	Hackenbush in Bothnia
		Just to add joy to ecstasy the hotel bookings were valid and the first labour of Hackenbush was complete – that of getting his mates to Luleå.
		The team arrived about 6pm, apparently bemused that anyone should travel all that way to watch them play in a friendly, Chris Powell’s comment as he emerged from the dressing room "If we played in Timbuktu you lot would still be there" probably sums it up.
		Matt Svensson (he didn’t start but made a late sub’s appearance) was interviewed before the game, Tord Grip ("I’m here to watch Chris Powell and Scott Parker") at half-time, Luke Young warmed up with his new team-mates and John Salako put on a man of the match performance in front of Tord Grip.

	Combinatorial Games (II) -Different Moves for Left and Right
		Thus, there are numbers that behave as if they are "infinitely small" and "infinitely large." The situation is perhaps even more amazing in that games come in such amazingly varied forms that there are values of games that do not "correspond" to numbers.
		This will be done by using a more formal approach than the geometric approach involving Hackenbush.
		Examples of the first three types can be illustrated using blue and red edge Hackenbush but the last type, fuzzy games, requires that one have edges that are green, blue, and red.

		She thinks this is a waste of money and a big mistake, but the lovers eventually reconcile, so Gil continues to try to help her.
		For example, the bit in which Hackenbush messes with Whitmore to prevent him from finding out the truth about his qualifications seems terrific, as does Hackenbush’s examination of Upjohn.
