A zero-sum game is when two people play chess. In most cases, one side will win and the other side will lose. If we calculate the winner as 1 and the loser as-1, then the sum of the scores of two people is: 1+(- 1)=0. For example, poker is a zero-sum game. Poker can be played among friends, poker clubs or tournaments. Generally speaking, playing poker between friends is a typical zero-sum game. No matter who wins, others will lose, and the sum of their wins and losses is zero.
Negative sum game refers to the result of conflict and struggle between the two sides, that is, the gain is less than the loss, that is, the sum of the results we usually say is negative. It includes both lose-lose situations, and both sides have different degrees of losses; He also includes another game in which the "winner" gains less than the "loser" loses.
