SWhat changed
Established maximin=minimax for finite two-person zero-sum games with mixed strategies.
Scientific scope
The record is von Neumann's sole-author 1928 Mathematische Annalen paper. It does not absorb later game-theory axiomatizations, Nash equilibrium for general noncooperative games, cooperative games or economic applications.
