Abstract

We prove that it is relatively consistent with ZF + CH that there exist two models of cardinality $\aleph _2 $ such that the second player has a winning strategy in the Ehrenfeucht–Fraïssé-game of length ω1 but there is no σ-closed back-and-forth set for the two models. If CH fails, no such pairs of models exist.
