Abstract

We consider the Maker-Breaker positional game on the vertices of the nn-dimensional hypercube {0,1}n\{0,1\}^n with kk-dimensional subcubes as winning sets. We describe a pairing strategy which allows Breaker to win if nn is a power of 4 and kn/4+1k \ge n/4 +1. Our results also imply that for all n3n \geq 3 there is a Breaker's win pairing strategy if k37n+1k \ge \left\lfloor\frac{3}{7}n\right\rfloor +1.
