Final minutes of 2007 Backgammon World Championship
By
Probably the most amazing piece of backgammon video ever seen – here are the final minutes of the final match of the 2007 World Backgammon Championship in Monte Carlo, played between Alvaro Savio of Brazil and Jorge Pan of Argentina. Why so special? Firstly, keep in mind that the two players and a referee are in a sealed room playing the final. GammonLife’s Marjorie Serrano Blanco filmed what you will see off the big screen in another room where one or two hundred other players are watching …

this sux.the greeks and turks players are by far the best players in backgammon,they make correct moves in half of the second.backgammon is not chess.they can beat these guys if they bring 36 times str8 1,2 in dices.

That announcer is one annoying piece of doggy poopoo.

What kind of game is this?
The announcer on the mic is just talking way to much, the players needs to decide their moves without some asshole saying what they can do.

Then u are hardly a top player. I win an average of 0.2 point per game over 4500 games online. In matches I win more like 0.3 ppg, just because matches are harder to play.
To beat a rake of approx. 5 % u need to win about 53 % single wins.

It is impossible to win money playing on line. All the sites themselves tag the good players. Once you are tagged they fix your dice so that you lose. I am one of the top players in the world.

Clearly it is a foul, but it is the opponent’s responsibility to call the director to overturn it. As you see in “about this video,” he didn’t catch it either. Judging by the low quality of this video, i take it the 07 Championships weren’t televised?

the first 6-3 move is foul,isn’n it?
