In Response To: 2014 Backgammon World Champion Akiko Yazawa! (Bob Koca)

"If you want the best player to win you should be arguing for a lot more than just making the last match longer."

Bob, I'm curious what you mean by this. I respect you lots and I know your VERY smart. Could you elaborate a bit on this please. I understand the longer match would favor the stronger player, thats clear, what other factors/elements could be different to separate the cream from the milk.

Thanks in advance for your input.

kindest regards

eric
