In Response To: It's a New Year; Let's do Something New (Jake Jacobs)

Magnus and Vishy are celebrities in their home countries. I believe that you're suffering from overly Americentric thinking.

If backgammon could do as well as chess then that would be a major step up in my opinion. I don't think that backgammon has any chance of being like poker (at least in our lifetimes), and so trying to head in that direction is a mistake. The things that have momentum now, like the BMAB, are all in the chess direction and not the poker direction.
