We examine maximin and minimax strategies for players in a two-players game with two strategic variables, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We consider two patterns of game; one is the [Formula: see text]-game in which the strategic variables of players are [Formula: see text]’s, and the other is the [Formula: see text]-game in which the strategic variables of players are [Formula: see text]’s. We call two players Players A and B, and will show that the maximin strategy and the minimax strategy in the [Formula: see text]-game, and the maximin strategy and the minimax strategy in the [Formula: see text]-game are all equivalent for each player. However, the maximin strategy for Player A and that for Player B are not necessarily equivalent, and they are not necessarily equivalent to their Nash equilibrium strategies in the [Formula: see text]-game nor the [Formula: see text]-game. But, in a special case, where the objective function of Player B is the opposite of the objective function of Player A, the maximin strategy for Player A and that for Player B are equivalent, and they constitute the Nash equilibrium both in the [Formula: see text]-game and the [Formula: see text]-game.
