Some of you may be interested in Backgammon so here's you chance to watch, me and the highest rated player on the zone give a backgammon lesson tonite on the zone.
Come to tournament room 1 in the backgammon area at 6PM Central US time which is 0000 UTC or London time. We will be playing a match and responding to on going comments from watchers. Lessons are weekly and I will assist with some of them.
For the past 20 years I have been a world class backgammon player. I play BG only occasionally on line and when I do that is at GamesGrid not the zone.
Come watch neilkaz at the only game he is actually good at !!

Neilkaz, are these lessons still going on? Is this *every* Sunday?
I used to play a lot of backgammon in college. Sadly, I can't even remember the rules anymore, but would be interested in re-learning. Used to play chess, too, which I used to be pretty decent at...now, however, while I remember how to play, my game is mush.

I would be interested in learning about BG myself. I have always just hacked my way through it, never used any skill. Who ever got the most doubles won. Please e-mail any info or let me know when classes are and where. Thanks

Most Sunday's at 6 PM Central US time in the zone Backgammon area.. Tournament Room 1. It may not have happened last Sunday 'cause I was down in Lisle IL, winning the Midwest BG Champs !! Another instructor was away at a huge Bridge tourney. I rarely play BG on line, since I'd rather play BG in person and play ROR on line. I study BG mostly on my own and if I play to much on line I burn out. That happens w/ROR , too. I do play some BG at GamesGrid on line. To get EXTREMELY Good BG software to play vs and to teach you, go to oasya.com and order Snowie. It certainly isn't cheap, but nothing of superior quality with a limited market is ! Snowie is a neural net that plays BG as well as the best humans do... neilkaz ..
