Buddha Backgammon

   February 2007    Myanmar

  

oolong was still in ecstasy after proceeding to the semi final of the India xbg trophy as he received an invitation to play a couple of friendly matches vs Buddha around the Bagan area in Myanmar.

The guy is tough to beat - question is: can you beat him at all? Well, not in this match - oolong had nothing left after his tremendous games at the All Indian eXtreme Backgammon Championships. 13-5. Buddha won the game and oolong a lot of experience.

This was oolong's final match versus Buddha. A fun game with some great moments of true backgammon class. It was tight, but Buddha was again the winner - in the very deciding moments it was quite obvious that somebody NOT from earth is playing in a different league.

oolong's second match went well, but for some reason Buddha was rolling whatever he needed. That caused a big deal of desperation and confusion on oolong's side. He eventually lost after a good start but learned another lesson for live.

What an incredible privilege! Honour whom honour is due! I do not have to tell you that oolong never really had a chance in all in theses games – doubled down to earth… Buddha was impressively demonstrating that it’s a long and stony way to backgammon enlightenment and that life equals suffering. oolong asked for deliverance…
