In Response To: Great exposure for backgammon (Phil Simborg)

Enjoyed the article and agree with most points in other posts here already. Falafel and his story are great for the game, partly because of his unique life story.

A more positive exposure of backgammon could be done and published in the New Yorker by focusing on either of the two guys at the top of the ABT lifetime results. Neil and/or Ray, both of which got to the top while working full-time in their respective professions, as well as each having more "normal" or "typical" life experience than Falafel.

The article still could have the same interest to the typical New Yorker reader. In my condo building, one resident has a subscription, then it passed around the floor to other residents. Will see it on paper in a couple of weeks when it gets to my place.
