Nack Ballard is one of these people whose prowess in backgammon is second to none and in the post Jacoby, Crawford, Robertie era; Nack Ballard has become the tour de force with his sterling performances, propelling him to super stardom.
In the early eighties, Nack Ballard having already won the American Backgammon Championships and World Championship for two successive years while still only in his twenties, he took on the Pro Am circuit in Las Vegas at the time the biggest money event in the whole of the US. Since that time, and over the past 20 years Nack Ballard has occupied the top rankings in his stupendously successful backgammon career, acknowledged by his peers as one of the best backgammon players in the world.
His performances are analyzed and appreciated by another stalwart, Kit Woolsey who evaluated Nacks game against Joe Sylvester versus Nack Ballard, to teach players about the game. Bill Robertie another World Champion in Backgammon, reckoned to be the father of modern aggressive backgammon analysised the games of Nack Ballard vs. Mike Senkiewicz and Nack Ballard vs. Howard Markowitz in Reno 1986, and defined them as literally the template for aggressive backgammon players.
Nack Ballard is not only an expert in offline backgammon but has also shown his worth in online backgammon games too, demonstrating his ability and flexibility in adapting to the changes of the virtual world tools and techniques, in much the same way that he has over the years adapted new gaming strategies throughout his own games to win matches. By 1999, he had won the Masters and the Super Jackpot. He has got also the record of crushing Jellyfish in a highly cherished 300 game match.
Nacks countless victories are probably too many to mention, even last year (2005) Nack Ballard still topped the ranking. Much of his success can be attributed to a strong and happy personal life with great support from his ever young Susan, his permanent girlfriend, whom Nack describes as more than I deserve.
