The Fairy-Tale in short: A little girl, named Redcappy, wants to bring some food to her ill grandmother who is living behind the dark forest. A bad wolf first eats the Grandmother, then Redcappy, and finally has a good sleep in grandmothers bed. A forester comes just in time to rescue both Redcappy and the grandmother out of the wolf. The original title in German is 'Rotkäppchen und der böse Wolf'. The direct translation to English is 'Redcappy and the bad wolf' but it is perhaps better known by the name 'Little Red Riding Hood'.
 
The game: Six Redcappies have to run against three wolves. (Two more Redcappies on the reserve bank are only silent and passive watchers.) A Redcappy can move only to the south and to the west, and only in single steps. Redcappies are completely peaceful creatures and cannot capture any other individual. A wolf also makes single steps only - moving or capturing to the north and the east. A team has lost when it is stalemated.
 
The Redcappies: Altogether eleven Redcappies represent members from the chair of 'Mathematical Optimization' and one external scientist at Jena University. Their work was or is related to the analysis and programming of brain games. Observe: The color red has no political meaning at all in this game!
