Chicken (game) respectively. The line in graph on the left shows the optimum probability of playing the escalated strategy for player Y as a function of "x". The line in the second graph shows the optimum probability of playing the escalated strategy for player X as a function of "y" (the axes have not been rotated, so the dependent variable is plotted on the abscissa, and the independent variable is plotted on the ordinate). The Nash equilibria are where the players' correspondences agree, i.e., cross. These are shown with points in the right hand graph. The best response mappings agree (i.e., cross)
