The graph superimposes the map for the best reply of Player 1 and the map for the best reply of Player 2. Each map reports the probabilities with which Player $i$ should pick his first strategy as a function of the probability with which the opponent picks her first strategies. The three Nash equilibria for the game correspond to three intersection points: two are equilibria in pure strategies (corner points) and one is in completely mixed strategies (interior point).
