TDT and UDT are intended to solve Newcomb's problem and the prisoner's dilemma and those are surely the simplest examples of their strengths. It is fairly widely believed that, say, causal decision theory two-boxes and defects, but I would rather say that CDT simply doesn't understand the statements of the problems. Either way, one-boxing and arranging mutual cooperation are improvements.
