The angel game in the plane

Brian H. Bowditch

We show that in the game of angel and devil, played on the planar integer lattice, the angel of power 4 can evade the devil. This answers a question of Berlekamp, Conway and Guy. Independent proofs that work for the angel of power 2 have been given by Kloster and by Máthé.
