Great exposure for backgammon

The Falafel profile in the New Yorker is great exposure for backgammon — the most high profile media appearance I have ever seen first-hand for backgammon. The New Yorker has 1 million readers; it is widely recognized for his very high quality and thorough reporting. I have been reading the magazine for years and that was a nice surprise to see this.

I believe the article reflects quite accurately on the backgammon world. Pretty much in line with what I would expect from the magazine when covering a sub-culture like the backgammon world. I understand it may not look good to talk about homelessness and such but even the founder of the Cirque du Soleil was there once.
