In Response To: Article on "Mr. Bridge" Mentions Backgammon and Poker (Bill Riles)

Bob is a good friend of Bob Wachtel's. The only time I met him was during a Bridge Nationals in Vegas in 1984, when Wachtel and I were roommates. Going all the way back to the seventies, when he played with the Dallas Aces, Hamman was on the short list for "greatest player of all time."

He wasn't the greatest backgammon player on the Aces, however. Mike Lawrence was a BG author, and Billy Eisenberg was a world champion.
