 It is worth noticing that the relation between repetition ranks and victory is not as liberal as one may think at first. That is, victory will not in general be ensured simply by choosing a large repetition rank in order to overcome the adversary with more repetitions. In the case of challenges, a large repetition rank does little since the repetition rank of the adversary applies to his defences against each particular challenge. So if player \(\mathbf{Y}\) is able to answer a specific challenge once, he will also be able to answer repetitions of that same challenge. In the case of defences, a large repetition ranks also does little because players have to answer to the last unanswered challenge. While there may be some special cases where the repetition rank has a slightly more significant influence on victory, they are not the main factor. Clerbout (2014b) discusses the relations between repetition ranks, victory, validity, and decidability.
