MODERATORS
I know it is not based on luck but luck does play a factor. Good players do lose to worse players and actually more often than in games like chess. Its exactly like poker. Sure its a game of statistics and calculated risks but its no risk if it can't fail. My point is, i wouldn't place a 1mil bet on my opponent not getting doubles more often than me over one game, or me messing up over 2 games. Let alone assume that no one else would be good at it.
Arguing that you are the best overall player without having to win a game or prove it in any way is just a weird way of trying to win this discussion.
The question doesn't state anything about a game or amount of games, just that you will be compared. Of course there is variance, but that's not what is being measured. All I'm saying is that if you take 99 random people and me, I'm fairly sure that I would be the best backgammon player.
Ok sure. You can have it. Won't argue
