Sumario:This paper is dedicated to the beginning of the development of a book introducing topological games and selection principles. Here, the classical games (such as the Banach-Mazur) and selection principles (such as the Rothberger or Menger properties) are presented. The most notable applications are also displayed both the classical (such as the characterization of Baire spaces with the Banach-Mazur game) and the recent (such as the relation between the Menger property and D-spaces). In addition to the content for the book, a problem in finite combinatorics that was found in the study of positional strategies is presented (as well as a partial solution) together with some results regarding new variations of classical selection principles and games, which give rise to the characterization of some notable spaces.
