Backgammon My hobbies include trying to
build interactive economics websites, duffer golf -- and backgammon. I
occasionally play on-line as gammonish. In August 2002, I won a tournament run by the Institut fur Strategiespiele (Germany
and Turkey) carrying the title "World On-Line Backgammon
Championship." I started playing in 1997, and don't play
as well as this title suggests. This "world championship tournament" was an
open single-elimination event, with 400 or so entrants from roughly thirty
countries, many of whom have been at it for more than 25 years. But luck
always plays a role in backgammon, and I did manage to win nine straight
matches (13 to 27 points each), including three against world-class players
rated in the top-100. [I made the Final 16 when trying to defend my title in
2003, but alas ... .] Other interests have kept me from playing much in the
last five years or so, although I do play in "live" tournaments
about once a year. |
