The matrix representation of a game is mainly composed of the following:
• Each row represents a strategy for the first player in the game, sometimes referred to as the row player. Thus, the number of rows is equal to the number of strategies for the row player.
• Each column represents the strategies of the second player in the game, sometimes referred to as the column player. Thus, the number of columns is equal to the number of strategies for the column player.
• Each entry of the matrix is a pair (x,y), where x represents the payoff for the first player, i.e., the row player, and y represents the payoff for the second player, i.e., the column player.
