If you choose S, then Alice chooses NS. At (S,NS) no player has any incentive to switch to some other strategy. Hence its a nash equilibrium.
Similarly,if you choose NS then Alice will choose S. At (NS,S) ,no player has any incentive to switch to some other strategy. Hence its a nash equilibrium.
If you have any doubt feel free to ask.

In previous rounds of the Golden Balls game show, these players have built up a jackpot of £47,250. Now, they must decide how the jackpot will be distributed. Each player in this round of has two strategies: split or steal. The payoffs to each player depend on the strategies played: If both choose split, they each receive half the jackpot. If one chooses steal and the other chooses split, the steal contestant wins the entire jackpot and the split contestant...

Alice, in the coins in-a-line game. Your strategy does not have to
be optimal, but it should be guaranteed to end in a tie or better
for Alice.

Consider the following non-cooperative, 2-player game. Each
player is a manager who wishes to get a promotion. To get the
promotion, each player has two possible strategies: earn it through
hard work (Work) or make the other person look bad through
unscrupulous means (Nasty). The payoff matrix describing this game
is shown below. The payoffs for each player are levels of
utility—larger numbers are preferred to smaller numbers. Player 1’s
payoffs are listed first in each box.
