Minimax theorem

Minimax theorem is a way for two players to make sure that they both make the best possible decision when playing a game or making a decision together. The way it works is, each player will pick their best possible move, then the other player will pick their best move, and they will keep doing this back and forth until there is a winner. It's like a way to make sure that both players make the best decision each time and that the game ends with one of them winning.
