The Holy Grail Of Backgammon?

In Response To: The Holy Grail Of Backgammon? (Stick)

Didn't Jerry Grandell win pretty much everything for a couple of years?

Maybe winning 3 or 4 tournaments in 1 year is too much of a long shot for you to consider.

I wonder what someone like Mochy, Falafel or Lars Trabolt would think about the odds of doing it.

If the frequency of someone achieving the holy grail needs to something like once per decade, then I suggest that we limit the tournaments to just MC and Nordic Open. Lars Trabolt and PJT has both won both tournaments (and also both finished runner up in MC the year after they won in MC). I believe that Trabolt lost in the semis of the Nordic Open the year when he finished runner up in MC.

Even though no-one has won both in the same year, I believe it could happen.
