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!

Ken and Xavi close to backgammon heaven

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!

The extreme backgammon competition is in full swing (and this one counts!) but we surly do not want to forget about the “All India extreme backgammon trophy“. The xbg crew is still on the road to cover this unique event staged on another upper extremity level. And we are proud to provide you details from one of the quarter finals. It is our backgammon star oolong facing Japanese Grandmaster Ken “the prime minister” Sato.

The match took place on the ancient temple site of Bagan / Myanmar. The trophy organizers decided to set an important sign for the people of Myanmar and the world choosing this spot. Although “the prime minister” is up to every trick playing Russian Backgammon for 25 years, oolong eventually won a dramatic game although it looked like Russian Roulette in deciding situations.

oolong made it thus to the semifinal - Congratulations by now for this extraterrestrial performance! Be prepared for more thrilling action! Semis soon!!!
