It is not the case that Player ∃ has a winning strategy in G(¬φ) if and only if player ∃ does not have a winning strategy in G(φ).

Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.
Reasons For
2 perspectives
Reason for 1 of 2
?
1.
Gale-Stewart determinacy requires games of *countable* length, but extensions of GTS to infinitary logics like Lω₁ω yield games that may be non-determined.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
If φ is an infinitary sentence, G(¬φ) need not be the strict dual of G(φ), so neither player may possess a winning strategy in either game.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
Reason for 2 of 2
?
1.
Intuitionistic and constructivist semantics (Dummett, Martin-Löf) reject the equivalence of 'no winning strategy for ∃ in G(φ)' with 'a winning strategy for ∃ in G(¬φ)'.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
Without classical negation, the absence of a proof of φ does not constructively yield a proof of ¬φ, so the biconditional holds only under classical assumptions the claim silently imports.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
Reasons Against
1 perspective
Reason against
?
1.
Hintikka's game G(φ) has finite length for any first-order sentence φ.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
The Gale-Stewart theorem entails that G(φ) is determined.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
Determinacy means player ∃ has a winning strategy in exactly one of G(φ) and its dual game.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
