Banach–Mazur game and mappings

Player $II$ wins the run $\langle U_0, V_0, U_1, V_1, \dots \rangle$ of the Banach-Mazur game on $X$ iff $\bigcap_{n\in\omega}V_n \not = \emptyset$. … Is there a description of the class of spaces in which $II$ has a winning strategy in the Banach-Mazur game, in terms of continuous maps? …

Strategic vs. tactical closure

The Banach-Mazur game on a poset $\mathbb P$ is the $\omega$-length game where the players alternate choosing a descending sequence $a_0 \geq b_0 \geq a_1 \geq b_1 \geq \dots$. … The Banach-Mazur game on $\mathbb P$ is $\omega$-strategically closed when there is a strategy $\sigma$ such that II wins whenever II plays according to $\sigma$, meaning if the sequence of plays so far …
