Example 1 - rock, paper, scissors

Rock, paper, scissors is a two-player game comprising the following rules:

  • Rock beats scissors
  • Scissors beat paper
  • Paper beat rock

Thus, there can't be a deterministic policy to win. Say, if there would have been a deterministic policy, that is rock will always win but that would be the case if an opponent has scissors. However, when an opponent has paper, then rock gets defeated. Thus, a determined solution is not possible in this environment. The only solution to this issue is using a uniform random policy that is stochastic in nature.
