In Response To: eXtreme Gammon Feeds My Ego (Stanley E. Richards)

I don't want to burst your bubble, but if ExtremeGammon decided that anyone who played under 10.0 was an expert, even more people could claim to be expert backgammon players. The tile of expert, advanced, world class, etc. are simply arbitrary names given at certain PR ratings. Also note that one of the differences between a PR rating (XG) and ER (Snowie) is that with PR you don't get credit for forced moves.
