In Response To: Proposed World Ranking System (Phil Simborg)

Maybe duplicate backgammon is not the perfect tool to determine who the better or best player is. But it sure is a way to put backgammon in a more skill-based spotlight.

Duplicate is the tool which served Bridge to be recognized as a skill game and become a full member of IMSA, along with Chess, Draughts and Go (www.imsaworld.com).
