"Survey Problem from the Past

Dear Danny: Many years ago, this was a survey problem in the Gammon’s of Chicago newsletter:
Bar/23, 4/3: Les Bart, Kent Goulding, Bill Horan, Chuck Papazian

Bar/23, 13/12: Arthur Dickman, Vladimir Dobrich, Gaby Horowitz, Darrell Marcus, Chris Stanford, Jeff Ward

Bar/23, 2/1*: Nack Ballard, Lee Genud, Badei Khoury, Nick Maffeo, Joe Monro, Kathy Posner

Bar/24*, 13/11: Bob Holyon, Joe Neiman, Jim Pasko, Bill Robertie, Elliott Winslow, Tim Wisecarver

It’s always fun to check expert opinion from the pre-Snowie past and this example is no exception. A survey of 23 nationally respected players and analysts conducted at the 1982 Chicago Open and Las Vegas Amateur Championships yielded the above answer assortment.

Note that only 22 names are listed. That’s because you also gave an answer to this survey, Danny. What would your play be now and why?—Bill Davis
