So James' current opponents still hadn't heard of them as of their taping.

That's what I thought. The guy who played close the other day and emulated James' strategy likely watched an earlier taping and saw what he was doing. James has had two close shaves and both of them tried the bottom-up strategy, IIRC. They must have been the second or third taping of their day and watched him win an earlier match.

The way it looks, James will be there after a year. ; ) ** -- IB4TECH 05/30/2019 08:15AM

Could be. Without any reason to think so, I think he might just leave after -- PhotoHokieNC 05/30/2019 3:37PM

Ken Jennings' recent op/ed said shows are taped “months in advance,” so -- Hokie CPA 05/29/2019 7:59PM

It is months in advance, but not THAT many months. Jennings also said -- Tafkam Hokie 05/29/2019 9:09PM

Maybe. James has played 30 games. That's six weeks' worth, and there were -- Hokie CPA 05/29/2019 9:15PM

Typically a 3 month lead. Jennings was there for over 4 months. -- 48zip 05/30/2019 09:30AM

Obviously the money won.... -- 2hhoop3 05/30/2019 10:20AM

So James' current opponents still hadn't heard of them as of their taping. -- Hokie CPA 05/30/2019 10:10AM

There was a guy a few years ago that did that. -- 48zip 05/30/2019 10:36AM
