Twenty-four players and a legend in backgammon turned up on Monday; it was lovely to welcome Michy Kageyama again. He and Alec Barr (pictured) compared notes on authoring books, as Alec's book with Marc Olsen and Mochy Mochizuki is now printed and on its way and Michy's new book is out soon too. Some great reading coming up for us all!
Along with the excitement of Michy's visit, we played 3 Swiss tournaments and a knockout. The Swiss were won by Daryll (very welcome as a new player this week), Anton (second week on the trot) and Bill.
The knockout was won by Alec Barr - he must have picked up some tips from Michy, Mochy and Marc..... Peter Bennet was runner-up.
And finally thanks to everyone that turned out to play and to Tariq for bringing Michy along.
Shame to have misssd it!
