Abstract
Games are used to model many instances arising from interaction of more than one computational agent. In program synthesis, existence of strategy is the key in deciding the existence of a program with a given set of specifications.

In this talk, we will observe Martin's proof of the existence of strategy in a class of two-player infinite games with perfect information (namely Borel games). One instance of this result is that in the initial stage of a game of chess, at least one of the players has a strategy to prevent from losing.
