In Response To: Rake? (mtuhtan)

Hi Miran,

As of Istavder we are really not interested in profit. Our main concern is backgammon. We want to establish a real working bg federation in Turkey. We would really appriciate to see you and other players in Istanbul. I hope your thoughts will change especially with the Gala dinner.

Now I want to express my feelings about bg organization all over the world. In 1998 gambling was not prohibited in Turkey.

There was no internet. The plane tickets were much expensive. Communication was expensive. Hotel rates were expensive.

However, almost 200 players including GIANTS of backgammon have attended Istanbul tournament.

Now everything is the opposite but bg is loosing attraction day by day.

Personally, I am very happy to watch Messi but I would also like to watch Nack on the board playing.

I wish all of you a happy new year. We would really be happy to see all of you in Istanbul.

Best Regards.
