European Online Update

By

I am pleased to report that the UK online team, comprising Jon Barnes, Charles Hill, Sebastian Wilkinson, Gaz Owen and Chris Rogers, has reached the 3-way final of the European Online Championship along with Norway and Germany. Many of the giants of European backgammon have fallen along the way, so this constitutes a real achievement by the UK team. The final will be all-play-all and if one team wins both of their two matches they will be declared champions. If each team wins one match we play again! Good luck team UK.

BACK IN THE DAY, we sat across the table from our backgammon opponent with a real board and real dice sitting between us. Fun and laughter followed with the more than occasional grumbling at the dice. Nowadays, it can be difficult to find the time and/or the people to play face to face. As a result more and more people are playing backgammon online.

Online, the trophies are awesome

Obituary: Robbie Richards

Robbie Richards

3 August 1946 – 24 December 2015

It is with much sadness I am reporting that Robbie Richards died on Christmas Eve at the Royal London Hospital.  He had bravely borne some months of illness and operations but it was thought he was finally rallying.  However he didn’t recover from a heart attack in mid-December.
