It seems to me that yours is one of the "local hidden variables" variations. In your case, strategies are the local hidden variables. As said in Wikipedia

"One apparent way to explain found correlations in line with the predictions of quantum entanglement is an approach known as "local hidden variable theory", in which unknown, shared, local parameters would cause the correlations. However, in 1964 John Stewart Bell derived an upper limit, known as Bell's inequality, on the strength of correlations for any theory obeying "local realism." Quantum entanglement can lead to stronger correlations that violate this limit, so that quantum entanglement is experimentally distinguishable from a broad class of local hidden-variable theories."

Hello Dr Popov

i may be mistaken, but what you are looking at here appears similar in some respects to Gilles Brassard's (http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~brassard/) 'Quantum Pseudo-Telepathy' game. ( http://www.springerlink.com/content/7w061h21v1326u8r/fulltext.pdf )

which yields a winning strategy for two quantum entangled players with no data communication resulting in a 59% overall 'hit' rate in 1,000 trials, in classical terms, expecting a 50% 'hit' rate, that's odds against chance of 225 million to one. (this project remains conceptual at this time)

an example of quantum entanglement leading to stronger correlations in violation of Bell's limit as mentioned above by Mr. Venerando.

it may be of interest you.

thank you for your paper,

Dear Dr. Popov,

Very interesting essay, bringing the Pauli effect into discussion, under a new perspective on time.

Best wishes,
