I bet that not many US backgammon players would have believed that Gus was capable of such strong play. I know a lot of people that thought his Giant spot was a result of his big name in poker!

Is this really true? I thought that everybody knew that Gus was a powerhouse. The only doubts I heard regarding whether he should be on the Giants list were questions about whether relatively inactive players should be penalized for their inactivity. Similarly nobody doubts Tardieu's ability but he just doesn't play that much backgammon any more.
