Step 1

Table 1 shows the game.

Step 2

Nash equilibrium can be calculated by using the iterative elimination method as follows.

For player 2, all the essentials of column 20 are superior to the essentials of column 10. Therefore, column 10 can be eliminate.

For player 1, all the essentials of row 20 are superior to the elements of row 30. Therefore, the row 30 can be eliminate. Then, the new matrix of this game can be derived as follows.
