In Response To: The Holy Grail Of Backgammon? (Christian Munk-Christensen)

I gave two examples of one extreme (too frequent) to the other (possibly not often enough). These pale in comparison to how often the holy grail of bg would be accomplished if it was indeed labeled as some sort of bg grand slam.

I'm still surprised someone hasn't done the math. I doubt anyone posting about it now would see it accomplished in our lifetime. Again, the holy grail of horse racing is the triple crown and it happens on average of what, once every 10 years? With the bg holy grail you're suggesting it wouldn't happen one in a hundred.
