In Response To: Giant versus average open player (Steve Mellen)

I thought that if two perfect players played each other the outcome would be totally a factor of luck. I believe that Steve is suggesting that even two perfect human players will error. Thus, perfect player A may error more frequently one night. While equally perfect player B errors more another night. Thus, if you consider fluctuations in human perfection than skill becomes a factor. If that is what you mean, I still suspect that the match would be 85% luck or more. A perfect player is not expected to be much worse when he is slightly off his game.

Stanley

Is this what you meant, Steve?
