Abstract

The Strong Ramsey game R(B,G) is a two player game with players P1 and P2, where B and G are k-uniform hypergraphs for some k ≥ 2. G is always finite, while B may be infinite. P1 and P2 alternately color uncolored edges e ∈ B in their respective color and P1 begins. Whoever completes a monochromatic copy of G in their own color first, wins the game. If no one claims a monochromatic copy of G in a finite number of moves, the game is declared a draw. For a t ∈ ℕ, let K2,t denote the K2,t together with the edge connecting the two vertices in the partition class of size 2. The purpose of this paper is to give a winning strategy for P1 in the game R(K0, K2,3).
