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

Hamman has the best long resume of the current top players in Bridge. As to who is the current best:

http://www.worldbridge.org/departments/mps/classificationinfo.asp

Hamman 10-20 years older than those Italians. He's the one American that has participated in the two Italian mega-eras.

He's wealthy from his bookmaking, er, insurance business. He's been butting heads with real good backgammon players for decades. I'm sure he'd be a troublesome backgammon opponent, as another of Bill's posts states very explicitly.
