Life experience in LA

In Response To: Tough lineup in LA (Phil Simborg)

Neil, MCG, Wachtel, Sax, Fogerlund, O'Laughlin, Malcolm, Joe Russell, Koca, Nuniyants, Nunez, Simborg, Sconyers, Markowitz and Glass.

An interesting histogram can be made from these players answering the question "how many years ago did you learn the game?" Matt and Justin are probably the only ones who haven't reached their BG silver anniversaries, and both of them are (I think) in the double digits. (UBK is older than he looks, and Phil is a lot older than he acts.)

So I guess this proves that it takes decades of experience and study to play at the top levels of backgammon?
