Who is the Best Backgammon Player in the World?
The world backgammon championships are held annually in Monte Carlo. The winner of this event is crowned World Champion. However the format and inherent limitations of such events provide less than ideal conditions to determine the ultimate superiority of the victor. Alternative methods of ranking players include the Giants of Backgammon list in which top players are ranked and rated by their peers. This and other alternative formats of ranking skill all contain significant design bias and preclude an authoritative answer.
