Well done, Victor!

Also, I would like to thank Rick for all his hard work in organizing BMAB. Thanks to Rick, we are getting a much more accurate picture of who the best players really are than the Giants' List can provide. Rick's BMAB is taken as a challenge by many players to see if they can progress. Instant recognition for unknown new strong players is possible under BMAB, but not on the Giants' List.

I believe we are witnessing a transformation on the BG scene: Rick's BMAB is well on the way to replacing the Giants' List as the most respected ranking of backgammon players. As far as I am concerned, BMAB has already surpassed the Giants' List in credibility.

If not for Rick, we would not know about the under-20 Czech Zdenìk Žižka who plays close to a 4 PR. If not for Rick, we would not know about the Iranian Amir Eshraghi who evidently plays around 3.5 PR. Congratulations to Victor, Amir Eshraghi and Zdenìk Žižka!

Thanks to Rick for all his hard work and congratulations to Rick on the success of BMAB!
