Dennis Hatch

I noticed in the brackets that the score between Dennis and Alex was 9-0. Did Alex shoot that good, or was it a forfeit?

Alex can skunk anybody on the planet in a race to 9 . Yes even Hatch... and vice versa. Hatch gets a lot of respect but he rarely wins tournaments. Is he a better money player? Who has he beat gambling?

I dont have his book in front of me now, but the list of people wanting to play a seriou$ $et against him is real short.

Yes, him. Both Alex and Dennis.

I remember a recent tournament where Johnny Archer lost a set against Mike Dechaine without winning a single game.

I don't think that's a glaring testimony that Mike is the better player. As much as we like to place our heroes on pedestals, they are just people, and rotation games have enough luck built in that anyone who can run out has a good chance to win...Sometimes good players play bad, and sometimes average players play REALLY good.

I'm just saying that nobody brings their A game every time, and one lopsided score doesn't mean anything.
