A game characterizing Baire class 1 functions

Abstract

Duparc introduced a two-player game for a function $f$ between zero-dimensional Polish spaces in which Player II has a winning strategy iff $f$ is of Baire class 1. We generalize this result by defining a game for an arbitrary function $f:X\to Y$ between arbitrary Polish spaces such that Player II has a winning strategy in this game iff $f$ is of Baire class 1. Using the strategy of Player II, we reprove a result concerning first return recoverable functions.
