pentejr: *nod* i am playing crowded with him now .. and told him about it ... he will soon be in the top with crowded as well (only needed 3 more games last night) and only needed 6 more games of anti (which takes a bit longer though :))

i know of the aversion of some players against anti ... its a great game though .. requires some different tactics and tricks ... but fun ones .. the disadvantage is the high number of moves thats needed to finish a game though
(with the cube it can be done faster ... but not always ;))

i will try to make a similar list without anti somewhere next week .. i am not sure if i will have time though

a better list would be to put everyone on it who is in the top 10% (or another %) of the list .. as there are a lot more people on the backgammon rankings than on the other types :)

i see the types as 4 groups :
back & nack
race & crowded
hyper
anti
