Von Neumann's fundamental theorem of the theory of games has been extended by various authors and recently in two different directions by Kneser (8) and Nikaidô (9). We present here a form of the theorem, which is more general than that of both these authors. We develop some consequences of this theorem, which make it easier to decide whether certain classes of games have a value and we give several illustrative examples
