Mochy, via Simborg:

"However, if you want to be among the top ten players in the world, you have to do a lot more work. You should devote ALL of your time and life to the game for at least a few years.

Backgammon is difficult game; we are not sure how to play some of the opening rolls, even though this game has a history of 5000 years.

The good news is that you don't need any special talent to be in the Giant-32 List. For example, I was not at all talented. I did not have a good background in mathematics or English. My level of shogi was upper-middle, at best. I just kept studying, playing, reading and thinking about the game every day - for years and years.

I must admit that I'm lazy and I compromised a lot in my life but never in backgammon.

My advice to the young players would be: You should try really hard and aim for the highest goal. Don't compromise in your passion."

Impossible, of course, for many players.
