In Response To: High stakes gammon (Bob Koca)

I am saying that if any two giants played each other and you gave me small odds I would take either one. The point is not about what my bet was or how my pick is derived...the point is to illustrate that I believe, and I think most others would agree, that the skill difference between the greatest players in the world is so small that "fear" is clearly not a factor, and certainly they don't fear each other. It is also to point out that someone like me, who is not in their class, feels no difference in fear, or respect, when sitting down to play any one of them.
