A definitive improvement of a game-theoretic bound and the long tightness game

The main goal of the paper is the full proof of a cardinal inequality for a space with points $G_\delta $, obtained with the help of a long version of the Menger game. This result, which improves a similar one of Scheepers and Tall, was already established by the authors under the Continuum Hypothesis. The paper is completed by few remarks on a long version of the tightness game.
