There we go with a small update on the Indian xbg trophy! But it’s not a tournament update this time. Today we will have a look behind the scene of the trophy. The extreme backgammon team covering the event is experiencing pure rapture flooding India! In other words: the backgammon trophy just kicks ass! The team decided last week to visit Chennai – checking out the backgammon vibes in Tamil Nadu’s capital!
To make a long story short – everybody is extremely excited about the trophy! People discussing chances of oolong and pejot and are guessing who the mysterious and unrevealed grandmasters joining next round of the tournament might be. But daily life has to go on you might think. It does! It’s just a bit twisted at the moment…
A given fact Swiss traveler Haensu has to deal with. He probably just thought about a short stop at Chennai Park Station on his way to Sri Lanka – but thats far out! Buying vegetables comes with heavy bargaining anyways but now you even have to play a match first before proving your bargaining skills. It might also even be a better idea to sort some “accidental” blunders in or leaving the fruit dealer some shots… I cannot tell you who won this match but the extreme backgammon crew reported that everybody was happy in the end!
