This is a FUN list that computes an "adjusted World zRating" (adjusted for (1) level of play to get a "Gamesgrid-like" rating, and (2) level of opposition skill level) for DailyGammon Players.  The list includes the probability of beating the BEST HUMANS or the WORLD CHAMPION in a 7-point backgammon match.  

Included in the list are so-called ADVANCED, WORLD CLASS, etc. PLAYERS -- as well as SNOWIE and even the "PERFECT BACKGAMMON" PLAYER -- to see where YOU PLACE.  

We say that this is a "FUN" list because some arbitrary assumptions are made.  Please let us know what you think of our assumptions at moorg@zroundtable.com .  Are the best humans really slightly better than SNOWIE?  Do you think that you are better than LOW ADVANCED??
