Michael Pfeffer was an octochamp and quarter-finalist in Series 77. He was a sports data analyst from Manchester.
Pfeffer debuted in the champion's chair following John Cowen's octochamp run. After a close first game against Paul Ellis, he scored three centuries including a high of 119 against Scrabbler, Jack Anscomb. Though he had a low-scoring scrap in his final game, he came through and garnered a cumulative total of 770 points to become the third octochamp of the series in just 27 shows. He did, however, have SHAMER incorrectly disallowed in his seventh match, so his total should have been 776.
Pfeffer qualified for the Series 77 finals as number six seed, and returned in December to face fellow unbeaten player, John Cowen. However, he came unstuck fairly early on, being beaten by Cowen's impossible six-small numbers picks as well as his nine, ANTINODES, meaning that the number three seed ultimately prevailed 105 – 49.
