Let P be some (possibly nice) graph theoretic property. We condsider
certain games played on the complete graph, where this property P is
somehow the focus of the game.
The players, called Maker and Breaker, alternately take edges which
were not yet taken. At the end Maker wins, if the graph he obtained
has property P, whereas Breaker wins if Maker's graph does not have P.
First I describe a classic method: the Erdos-Selfridge scoring system. Then we'll see some extension of it, which implies that Maker can create (1/4-\epsilon)*n edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles (where \epsilon tends to 0). This result is obviously best possible up to the \epsilon and confirms a conjecture of Lu.
(Joint work with A. Frieze, M. Krivelevich and O. Pikhurko.)
