John O’Hagan and Kit Woolsey played an amazing match at the Las Vegas Backgammon Open last week (November 8, 2018).

Backgammon players have achieved better and better Performance Ratings (PRs) of late. But it’s hard to imagine players doing as well as these two did in this match. John O’Hagan had the better PR by a bit, but won handily because he also had the luck going for him, with a luck factor of close to 8.
It’s good to be lucky. But it’s better to be good.
