Dane backgammon pro Steen Grønbech, who led the Play65 Team in several backgammon tournaments in the last couple of years, is currently on the top of the WSOB Race, preceded only by WSOB Cannes 2009 champion, Salamzy Najibullah, and followed by backgammon giants such as Falafel Natanzon (fourth place), Sander Lylloff (fifth), and even the new world backgammon champion, Masayuki Mochizuki (nineteenth).

Steen Grønbech, who finished third at the World Series of Backgammon Cannes Championship and championed the Second Chance competition, still has a gap of 22 points separating him from the top spot and the adjunct WSOB Gold Cube, a gap that can be closed or at least minimized at the next World Series of Backgammon event, WSOB Prague, scheduled to begin on September 16th.
