  The task of computing approximate Nash equilibria in large zero-sum
extensive-form games has received a tremendous amount of attention due mainly
to the Annual Computer Poker Competition. Immediately after its inception, two
competing and seemingly different approaches emerged---one an application of
no-regret online learning, the other a sophisticated gradient method applied to
a convex-concave saddle-point formulation. Since then, both approaches have
grown in relative isolation with advancements on one side not effecting the
other. In this paper, we rectify this by dissecting and, in a sense, unify the
two views.
