In Response To: I like my chances/ and so Pineapple Bluff Gammon stuff (Phil Simborg)

I specified 'genius mathematicians' and while that was getting carried away, what I meant more or less was people who make their living in the field of mathematics. That shrinks your list of players to hardly anyone. And even if they are a really good player, like I'm guessing Art Benjamin is (I don't know his game) or like I know Bob Koca is the math background may still be getting in their way holding them back from being great. It's a sliding unfair scale of course because some would rightfully call these two players great players also. It depends on the context. The context here is me calling a backgammon player great so that's what you have to work with.
