Subject: a milestone reached!!
can I brag a minute, without sounding arrogant?
...it has taken me awhile but I finally made the top 25 in ALL 6 gammon variants!!!
...I'm not stopping here though, my goal is to be in the top 5 in all of them! that might take a bit longer with a bit of luck as well!
...and of course I realize I just put a target on my back, but I think I'm up to the challenge, so anyone that would care to play a game, send me an invite...
...as always, happy gaming!

LionsLair: I think the answer to the first question is "no", however who says arrogance is bad?

LionsLair:  Come and get it!  I can tell you it's hard to stay in the top 10, let alone 5, but right now I'm ranked no lower than 6th in any of the 6 gammon variants.  If you can make top 5 in all of them, you'll certainly be the best!

My latest milestone:  BKR of at least 2000 in all 6.

alanback: 6th!, now thats amazing!! you are who I am trying to catch!, or at least concidered to be in the same class as yourself, I have read a few of your articles over the years and have learned alot from you... you have made me challenge myself to be a world class gammon player...
...a BKR of at least 2000 is quite an accomplishment as well, ... I (being the student) will have to try to accomplish this as well... I love a challenge!
...congrats on your accomplishments... and keep an eye out, one day the student may best the teacher! ;o)

Well, however temporarily, I have reached LionsLair's goal of being in the top 5 in all 6 gammon variants.  Despite my previous statements, I'm not claiming to be the best in any of them, but perhaps the best all-around gammon player for the moment?

alanback: congrats! looks like you are setting the bar pretty high! I'll need to tighten up my boot straps and play a bit harder to catch you...
...again, well done! :o)

LionsLair and Hrqls:  Thanks very much.  I'm already about to drop perilously close to #6 in Nack, so success is a temporary and relative quantity!
