For whom the bell tolls...

   August 2006    Italy

  

Fantastic stuff! Jonas and Hessam are enjoying the beautiful views there on top of the Chandelier Tower in Massa Maritima. This nice little town in Tuscany is a perfect place to enjoy handmade gelato, a slice of authentic pizza and of course a relaxed eXtreme backgammon! Only problem here is, that it might be a bit loud once in a while...

This was a quickie. You know these bells go off every 15 minutes and you do not want to have the doubling cube in your hand when it happens. So these gentlemen switched to speed backgammon and rushed through the session. Hessam made it in the end - I bet he read Bell's instructions on the doubling cube...

A well deserved victory for Hessam. Hope the ears of the lads will recover!
