Now suppose somehow Firm 2 knew for certain that Firm 1 would play strategy S2. It would have a choice of playing S1 for a payoff of 6 or S2 for a payoff of 7.

   Again, applying powerful mathematical techniques we discover that 7 is larger than 6 so Firm 2 would play strategy S2 in this instance as well.
