The online Ramsey turnaround game was first introduced by Tamar Mirbach. It is a game between two players, Builder and Painter, on a board of $n$ vertices using $3$ colors, for a fixed graph $H$ on at most $n$ vertices. The goal of Painter is to force a monochromatic copy of $H$, the goal of Builder is to avoid this as long as possible. In each round of the game, Builder exposes one new edge and is allowed to forbid the usage of one color for Painter to color this newly exposed edge, and Painter colors the edge according to this restriction. The game is over as soon as Painter manages to achieve a monochromatic copy of $H$. For sufficiently large $n$, we consider the smallest number $f(n, H)$ of edges so that Painter can always win after $f(n, H)$ edges have been exposed by Builder. In addition, we define $f(H)$ to be the smallest $n$ such that Painter can always win on a clique with $n$ vertices. We give bounds for both functions for various choices of $H$ and show that this problem is closely related to other concepts in extremal graph theory.
The results presented are based on joint work with Maria Axenovich.
