By results of [9] there are models and for which the Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé game of length ω₁, $EF{G}_{\omega ₁}(,)$, is non-determined, but it is consistent relative to the consistency of a measurable cardinal that no such models have cardinality ≤ ℵ₂. We now improve the work of [9] in two ways. Firstly, we prove that the consistency strength of the statement “CH and $EF{G}_{\omega ₁}(,)$ is determined for all models and of cardinality ℵ₂” is that of a weakly compact cardinal. On the other hand, we show that if $2^{\aleph ₀}<2^{\aleph ₃}$, T is a countable complete...
