Buchi’s approach to the determinacy of infinite games was original and not without a controversy. He resented determinacy proofs that did not live up to his standards of constructivity. We describe the infinite games in question, discuss the constructivity of determinacy proofs and comment on Buchi’s constributions to determinacy.
