Steps to enlightenment

oolongs match versus buddha was main topic in Bagan for quite a while and even eclipsed his victory over Ken - “the prime minister” during the xbg trophy. Ken was so thrilled by oolongs stories touching backgammon heaven that he planned to do the same. But how if there is no buddha around? Exactly!

There we go! Closer to backgammon heaven! Ken managed to convince Spanish backgammon shooting star Xavi - better known as “el cabrón” - to play a match on the very top of an ancient temple close to Bagan.

Ken was happy to be close to backgammon enlightenment while Xavi was fighting vertigo… Result: 17-0!
