      Consider a finite simultaneous-move game. A strategy in such a game is Nash if it is optimal at some Nash equilibrium. Using an epistemic game theory approach, the paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a single player to choose a Nash strategy. The form these conditions take is: the player believes A, B, and C; the player believes that every opponent believes A, B, C, and D.
