Backgammon tournament winner!

Competitors: 183

Rounds: 4

Start date: 04 April 2011

End date: 03 September 2011

Finally, my first ever backgammon tournament win and I’m mighty pleased! This is also an improvement on the 4th place obtained in my previous final. On this occasion, all my opponents in the final round had a higher ELO rating than me but I still succeeded in winning 5 out of my 6 games.

The game which elevated me from a potential 2nd to winner was a classic end game. A combination of the right rolls and the right play saw me turn defeat into victory, submerging me in a pure adrenalin rush. To those among you more familiar with football than backgammon, I can explain it this way. At the ninetieth minute I’m losing 1-0. I get the equalizer in extra time and with only seconds on the clock, I score the winner!

18th Backgammon Tournament Final

Whatever the final result, I’m chuffed to have made it to my first-ever final of an on-line  backgammon tournament.

There were 178 competitors in the first round and now I’m in the top 4.

You asked to see them so here they are, the ladies that pleasured me for so many hours.

Only 500 pieces but a lovely challenge to put together a beautiful and colourful work of art.

Now framed and hanging in my hallway!
