Dec 6, 2022 at 2:48 comment added bof @StevenClontz Thanks. The question, then, is whether the "Debs phenomenon" can be realized in an Alexandrov space. (I guess $T_0$/antisymmetry is irrelevant.)
Dec 6, 2022 at 0:52 comment added Steven Clontz @bof I think that's right. Arbitrary intersections of open are open is known as Alexandrov, where open sets are characterized a pre-order. Toss in T0, and the pre-order is a partial order.
Dec 6, 2022 at 0:38 comment added bof @MonroeEskew I'd been wondering how the poset BM game is related to the topological BM game, but it seems to me now that the former is a special case of the latter. Namely, if the poset is topologized by calling the down-sets open sets, then choosing a point $a\in P$ is tantamount to choosing the basic open set $\{x:x\le a\}$. So the poset BM game is just the topological BM game for $T_0$-spaces in which arbitrary intersections of open sets are open. Have I got that right?
Dec 5, 2022 at 20:20 comment added bof @JoelDavidHamkins I never studied Debs' completely regular example, which seems to be rather complicated, but his first example was just the real line topologized with basic open sets of the form $(a,b)\setminus C$ where $C$ is countable. The winning strategy is easy; the proof of "no winning tactic", using the Baire category theorem, is trickier.
Dec 5, 2022 at 2:52 comment added Steven Clontz I translated parts of the paper in grad school. I lost the original source I wrote but my advisor sent me a scan of some draft of this work a couple years back: github.com/StevenClontz/research/blob/master/…

Dec 4, 2022 at 11:05 comment added Monroe Eskew @bof I only asked one question. You’re raising a question of terminology.
Dec 3, 2022 at 6:59 comment added Monroe Eskew @bof Set theorists use the term “Banach–Mazur game” for the poset game as I defined it. Maybe it is unjustified.

Update in light of Will Brian's comment.
Dec 2, 2022 at 22:28 comment added Monroe Eskew @WillBrian Thanks for the explanation. So I will leave the question open for more answers.
Dec 2, 2022 at 21:02 comment added Joel David Hamkins Ah, that sounds right.
Dec 2, 2022 at 20:31 comment added Will Brian . . . but it does not answer the poset version. In fact, one of Debs' spaces (there are two -- one that's Hausdorff but non-regular, and a much more complicated one that is $T_{3 \frac{1}{2}}$) refines a metric space, and this means that player I can play in such a way that the sequence of moves is guaranteed to contain at most one point in the end, and therefore not contain a nonempty open set.
Dec 2, 2022 at 20:29 comment added Will Brian Hi Joel, unfortunately, I don't think Debs' example answers Monroe's question. The problem is that the Banach-Mazur game on a topological space is not generally equivalent to the Banach-Mazur game on the poset consisting of its nonempty open sets. The problem is that in the topological version, II wins if there is a point contained in every set that's been played. In the poset version, II wins if there is a member of the poset included in every set that's been played. These are different conditions. Debs' space answers the topological-Banach-Mazur version of this question . . . (continued)
