Do a Google search on phrases (with the quotation marks) such
as:

"weakly solved"
"strongly solved"
"ultra-weakly solved"
"ultra-strongly solved"

...then come back and post an answer that DOESN'T suck.


Bob's answer was fine. Some of us actually have to work for a
living. We don't all have time to do 5 hours of research before
posting.

If you don't have time to get true information (five minutes
tops using the search terms above), you should simply STFU
rather than posting false information.

"Suppose that it has been discovered that with a certain opening
play that the first player can force a win" is a description of
weakly solved. "if a different opening play is forced" is a
description of strongly solved. If you two dim bulbs would spend
five minutes doing the search I suggested, this would not
confuse you so.

On the other hand, there's a fair degree of entertainment value is
****ing tight-ass pricks like you off.
