Beck's Chooser-Picker conjecture

Let GG be a hypergraph. Suppose that Breaker wins the Maker-Breaker game on GG, with Maker moving first. Beck's Chooser-Picker conjecture. Picker wins the Chooser-Picker game on GG. This conjecture compares the relative difficulty of the Maker-Breaker and Chooser-Picker games on the same hypergraph. It is refuted by a construction in this paper: there is a hypergraph on which Breaker wins the Maker-Breaker game while Chooser wins the Chooser-Picker game.
