For a normal-form game G and a player i, can removing actions from player i yield a better Nash equilibrium *for i*?

Has this been investigated?

@niplav This is one of the motivations for precommitments as a strategy, isn't it? At least the practical version. And I think I saw mentioned that this concept itself is as old as Sun Tzu, but low confidence.

Huh, I think you're right. In chicken you can improve the situation for one player by removing the option to swerve for them. So you precommit for them…
