Abstract: Extensive-form games with imperfect recall are an important game-theoretic model that allows a compact representation of strategies in dynamic strategic interactions. Practical use of imperfect recall games is limited due to negative theoretical results: a Nash equilibrium does not have to exist, computing maxmin strategies is NP-hard, and they may require irrational numbers. We present the first algorithm for approximating maxmin strategies in two-player zero-sum imperfect recall games without absentmindedness. We modify the well-known sequence-form linear program to model strategies in imperfect recall games resulting in a bilinear program and use a recent technique to approximate the bilinear terms. Our main algorithm is a branch-and-bound search that provably reaches the desired approximation after an exponential number of steps in the size of the game. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed algorithm can approximate maxmin strategies of randomly generated imperfect reca ll games of sizes beyond toy-problems within few minutes. (More)
