Abstract: When we encounter the problem of decision making under competent circumstances shaped with the contradiction of players positions and the contradictions of interrelated interests, the decision making process becomes difficult under such circumstances, because the decision outcome and its affect is not dependent of the said decision, instead, they are affected by the results of the decisions taken by the players. Then the problem is in taking a decision relevant to those contradicted interests and how to solve such contradictions is the basic interest of the games theory. The games theory helps in understanding the strategies of the players and analyzing the strategies various possibilities and thus arriving at the proper decision to deal with the different positions of the other player. We shall restrict our work on to what so called (two-person zero- sum games). As this research has suggested a solution method for the games of the zero sum for two persons, via determination of the best strategy possible for each player. The study as well dealt with the solution of the zero-sum games using the linear programming. We prepared a program for that end- FORTRAN language in order to benefit from it in solving the games of the bigger size which require much efforts and calculations and time too. Great concentration was also being given to the extensive configuration of the games, where we treated a set of games by means of the play tree. We also attempted to clarify the relation between the strategic form and the extensive form of game.
