Abstract

In trying to assess the validity of formal definitions of positional analysis it is necessary to have certain standard test data. The mathematical literature contains a large collection of important graphs specifically constructed as counter-examples to conjectures. We show that one of these graphs is useful in understanding the workings of certain positional analysis techniques.
