A primary aim of combinatorial game theory (CGT) is to formulate tractable winning strategies for games. I wish to sell you the idea that sometimes the only known method to do so is via a judiciously chosen numeration system, analogously to the choice of an appropriate data structure for optimization problems. We will also see that numeration systems may be conducive to solve elegantly other problems in math.
