In Response To: Are you as good as Stick? (phil simborg)

Our bet was based on xgr++ as we did not want to take the time at the event to roll it out (I had several more positions from my match I wanted to run). So here is the result, and Stick was the only one who picked the right play, and by the way, as we were making the bets and discussing this, a couple of other very famous players stopped by and also selected the wrong play.

So Stick was my hero once again, until later that night after the tournament when I conducted a contest at Jim Pasko's home where Stick and Akiko teamed up against Joe Russell and Steve Sax and Joe and Steve clobbered them.

I will add that while Stick and Akiko lost the contest, they certainly didn't embarrass themselves as they showed they clearly understood the concepts and the positions, but Steve and Joe's answers were simply more accurate.

I make a video of the competition with the 8 positions and you can hear their answers and the discussion. If you would like a link to the video email me at pjsimborg@gmail.com.
