Relating games of Menger, countable fan tightness, and selective separability (Q1738940)

The author continues the study of selection principles of open covers and the associated games. The selection principle is as follows: $S_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathcal{A,B})$ states that given $A_n\in\mathcal A$ for $m\in\omega$, there is $B_n\in[A_n]^{<\omega}$, such that $\bigcup_{n\in\omega}B_n\in\mathcal B$. The associated selection game is $G_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathcal{A,B})$ where during each round $n\in\omega$, Player I first chooses $A_n\in\mathcal A$ and then Player II chooses $B_n\in[A_n]^{<\omega}$, Player II wins if $\bigcup_{n\in\omega}B_n\in\mathcal B$, and Player I wins otherwise. If Player II has a winning strategy in $G_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathcal{A,B})$ then $S_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathcal{A,B})$ holds, but the converse does not necessarily hold. For instance, a space $X$ is \textit{selectively separable} ($SS$ for short) if $\mathcal{A=B}$ is the collection of all dense subsets of $X$ and $S_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathcal{A,B})$ holds. If Player II has a winning strategy in $G_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathcal{A,B})$, the selective separability game for $X$, then $X$ is $SS^+$. \textit{D. Barman} and \textit{A. Dow} showed that $SS$ does not imply $SS^+$ [Topol. Proc. 37, 181--204 (2011; Zbl 1207.54036)]. When the winning strategy of Player II depends only on the last move of Player I then it is called a Markov winning strategy. The main aim for the author is contibute to the understanding of Gruenhague's question: Does $SS^+$ imply $SS^+$ with a Markov winning strategy? The author presents several interesting results on related properties as Menger property, Rothberger property, countable fan tightness, etc., and shows an example of a space which has countable fan tightness with a winning strategy for Player II but Player II has no Markov winning strategy.
