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

Right -- not only does the perfect player always play perfectly, when two perfect players play each other it doesn't matter which side of the board they sat on, since (after the game has been concluded) either would have made the same moves given either player's dice. Ergo, luck and only luck determined the outcome of the game between these two perfect players.
