In Response To: Another angle on the BBC documentary (Zoe Cunningham)

1. What if there were people who played for $1 Million a point? And if one or more were secretly coached by one of the greatest players in the game? Maybe some research can find out some information on this?

2. How about a study of some of the top poker players in the world who will tell you they really love backgammon and could be amongst the best backgammon players in the world?

3. How about the "geniuses of backgammon"? A study of some of the top backgammon players that ever lived and their accomplishments in other games and their academic backgrounds and IQ test results? Maybe the top backgammon player can accept a challenge against to top Chess players to see who is smarter? That would be really fun!

4. What about the story of the big arrests in New York in the Art community and the ties to big time backgammon gambling?

5. What about the huge growth of backgammon in Turkey in recent years...how the players are converting from Tavla to backgammon.

6. How about centering a story around Art Benjamin and linking the amazing math skills that relate to backgammon skills?
