It was a very well deserved victory in the end. oolong overcame magic, showed incredible strenght – mentally and physically and of course – performed backgammon at a level other regular humans can only dream of! Just one comment about the final which took place in front of the India Gate in Delhi: nobless oblige!

We see oolong here on his drive to the final. You can clearly see the tension and deep concentration! His whole body language has this graceful countenance – that’s what it takes to be a real xbg champion! We do not want to forget to cheer for the runner up! “The Driver”! You could not really count on him but he made his way to the final – showing his impressive expertise! Fantastic achievement!

This was the “All India eXtreme Backgammon Trophy”! Thanks everyone for participating! And big applause again for oolong!

p.s.: Yeah we also have to disclose that the final itself was quite a boring game – you know how that goes with these high expectations… oolong celebrated a clear 17-11!!
