We study the existence of continuity points for mappings
$f\,:\,X\,\times \,Y\,\to \,Z$ whose
$x$ -sections
$Y\,\backepsilon\,y\,\to \,f\left( x,y \right)\,\in \,Z$ are fragmentable and
$y$ -sections
$X\,\backepsilon\,x\,\to \,f\left( x,y \right)\,\in \,Z$ are quasicontinuous, where
$X$ is a Baire space and
$Z$ is a metric space. For the factor
$Y$ , we consider two infinite “point-picking” games
${{G}_{1}}\,\left( y \right)$ and
${{G}_{2}}\,\left( y \right)$ defined respectively for each
$y\,\in \,Y$ as follows: in the
$n$ -th inning, Player I gives a dense set
${{D}_{n}}\,\subset \,Y$ , respectively, a dense open set
${{D}_{n}}\,\subset \,Y$ . Then Player II picks a point
${{y}_{n}}\,\in \,{{D}_{n}}$ ; II wins if
$y$ is in the closure of
$\left\{ {{y}_{n}}\,:\,n\,\in \,\mathbb{N} \right\}$ , otherwise I wins. It is shown that (i)
$f$ is cliquish if II has a winning strategy in
${{G}_{1}}\,\left( y \right)$ for every
$y\,\in \,Y$ , and (ii)
$f$ is quasicontinuous if the
$x$ -sections of
$f$ are continuous and the set of
$y\,\in \,Y$ such that II has a winning strategy in
${{G}_{2}}\,\left( y \right)$ is dense in
$Y$ . Item (i) extends substantially a result of Debs and item (ii) indicates that the problem of Talagrand on separately continuous maps has a positive answer for a wide class of “small” compact spaces.
