The Baire power conjecture for Black's winning strategy

From papers

Let XX be a topological space, let π(X)\pi(X) be the least cardinality of a π\pi-base for XX, and let BM(X)\operatorname{BM}(X) denote the Banach–Mazur game on XX. For positive cardinals λ\lambda and κ\kappa, let

B(λ,κ):{\sf B}(\lambda,\kappa):

mean that whenever π(X)λ\pi(X)\leq\lambda and the box-product power XκX^{\kappa} is Baire, Black has a winning strategy in BM(X)\operatorname{BM}(X). Baire power conjecture. For each λ1\lambda\geq 1 there is a κ1\kappa\geq 1 such that

B(λ,κ){\sf B}(\lambda,\kappa)

is true. This conjecture asks whether, for every bound on the π\pi-weight, some fixed box power being Baire guarantees Black's determinacy in the original game; the supplied text gives no resolution.
