In poetry:
His opponents the laurel must certainly yield,
When he, with three legs, was equipp'd for the field;
For who could be better prepar'd for a fray?
With one he could fight, or with two run away.
"The Triumvirate" by William Hutton

To make his opponent turn pale.
All who in rhetoric strain the throat,
Fade at the infant petticoat.
"The Valentine" by William Hutton
'I'll not surrender,' was his cry, 'before I do, I'll die!'

To grapple at close quarters with the ranger of the bush.
"A Day's Ride" by Anonymous Oceania
My mates were strong and plucky chaps, but very soon I knew
That our opponents had the weight and strength to pull them through;
The boys were losing surely and defeat was very near,
When, high above the mighty roar, I heard the old man cheer!

Fearlessly the Foodle faction sneaked the other Party's views;
Full of fight were both opponents; the elections were approaching;
And upon mere Public Business none had any time to lose.

In science:
Note that an initial move must be an Opponent question.
Function Interface Models for Hardware Compilation: Types, Signatures, Protocols
The arrow arena is similar to the product arena but it involves the switching of polarities Proponent-Opponent for the arena in the contra-variant position, and extending the enabling relation so that initial moves of the argument are justified by the initial moves of the function.
Function Interface Models for Hardware Compilation: Types, Signatures, Protocols
The model of a term is a strategy, i.e. a set of plays indicating how the Proponent will respond to any Opponent action, given the play up to that point. A strategy is sub ject to certain closure conditions, which are not relevant for our discussion here.
Function Interface Models for Hardware Compilation: Types, Signatures, Protocols
In particular, under reasonable assumptions, if we give one player only O(log n) random coins but allow him to run in arbitrary polynomial time with nδ bits of randomness and we restrict his opponent to run in time nk , for some fixed k, then we can sustain an ε-Nash equilibrium.
Repeated Matching Pennies with Limited Randomness
If this is the case, a Nash equilibrium can be viewed as a set of strategies in which each agent is simply computing his best response given his opponents’ actions.
