I am extremely pleased to see surreal numbers put to more practical use (for liberal interpretations of ‘practical’). It’s of no particular relevance to the paper, but when I read for the first time that every number has a game, but not all games have numbers, and thus game-space is larger than number-space, my head exploded.

Me too :) But I then realized it’s not any “game”, but the combinatorial ones.
