The motivation of Combinatorial Game Theory (CGT) is recreational games with open information and no chance, such as Chess, Go, Tic-Tac-Toe, Hex, Checkers and many more. The motivation of Classical Game Theory (EGT) is real world economical situations. Tools from CGT are yet rarely (if ever) used in EGT, and vice versa. We discuss a combinatorial game generalization of alternating normal play (last move wins) to bidding normal play, via Discrete Richman Auctions; this is joint work with Prem Kant, Ravi K. Rai and Akshay V. Upasany. See https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.08073 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.11596.
