A few weeks ago, David Wells wrote:

I think money play would be a great way to figure out who is the best in backgammon. I have an open challenge to play for money to all the giants. Terms to be discussed. May require live play. Though probably not.

If Stick needs something to motivate him, what about a heads-up money session with David Wells for high stakes?

Playing for high stakes is, after all, the traditional motivation for backgammon players.
