Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a Nash equilibrium, each player is choosing their best strategy given the other player's strategy. In this game, both players have a dominant strategy - A's dominant strategy is always to choose Up, and B's dominant strategy is always to choose Right. The only outcome where both players are playing their dominant strategy is Middle-Right, making it the Nash equilibrium. The other options involve at least one player not playing their dominant strategy, making them not Nash equilibria.
