In Response To: High stakes gammon (Christian Munk-Christensen)

I agree with the apt comments of Stick, Phil, and Keene.

Christian, I don't know you and can't know your motivation; but I think the posting does a bit of disservice to Mr. Hansen.

As Phil capably suggests, the money game is considerably different than match play and, in my opinion, a lesser game requiring lesser skills.

The Giants list is not about the most 'feared' players, it is about the 'best' active players. Mr. Hansen is undoubtedly, by all reports, a very capable player; however, at this moment, I feel his relative inactivity will keep him off my ballot.
