"An example from Myerson [^Mye1991] which illustrates the distinction between
3+
an equilibrium of an extensive form game and an equilibrium of its
4+
(multi)agent representation. The actions B1, Z1, and W2 form a
5+
behavior profile which is an equilibrium in the (multi)agent
6+
representation. However, it is not a Nash equilibrium of the extensive
7+
game, because Player 1 would prefer to switch from (B1, Z1) to
8+
(A1, Y1); the (multi)agent representation rules out such coordinated
9+
deviations across information sets.
