This is really cool work, Eugene. Congrats to you and your co-authors on the game outcomes and Nature publication! I used to think about imperfect information games enough that I keep my childhood copy of Stratego up in my office. Looking forward to reading your paper!

On the other hand, I've read some cognitive science articles that are so dense with citations that it's difficult to get through the introduction without knowing the 30 or so predecessor papers.

Always fun to read an early paper from the 60s/70s and there be like three citations, two to their own work and one to Church or Turing.
