In Response To: Explaining Ray's Incredible Success (David)

I'm not saying anything regarding Ray's success, I'd like to know the details is all. Why do you say Ray plays in the 4 PR range? Of course bg players don't get the same credit for their results as tennis players. The best tennis player on any given day wins ~99% of the time, the best backgammon player on any given day wins, depending on the format/match length/etc... maybe 60-65% of the time as a ballpark? It has been shown here before basically that positive luck = winning in bg, a stat that doesn't exist in more skillful contests.
