Backgammon tournament winner!

Sandro — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 07:31:11 +0000

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!

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.

My final position: 4th overall

9th out of 260!

My backgammon preparation, both practical and theoretical, is paying off. I entered the ladder at www.zooescape.com last month and now here I am, top 10!

The final board of an informative and fun game of Scrabble, with players hailing from Reunion Island, Russia and Malta. So many weird words.....

JungFrauen by Gustav Klimt

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!

Playing with young women

Sandro — Mon, 03 May 2010 08:51:01 +0000

A full week of playing with young women. What more can a man ask for? Maybe that his girlfriend won't object to this "hobby", possibly even being a willing participant? Well, last week was the week when it all happened.

In truth, if I had to wring out the hours spent at work and the time necessary to recharge my energy levels with food and sleep, then I'm left with around 10 hours of hands-on play. Divide that by the number of women spread out on various horizontal surfaces (the kitchen table being the most popular) and I really had about 120 minutes of physical indulgence with each one. However, I'm not complaining!

I'm now ready to go one step further and post a picture of all the young women involved within the next few days. However, in order to protect their privacy, the page will only be accessible with a password. This I will provide to those emailing their request to me at webmaster@79664664.com.
