In Response To: BG newspaper columns or problems (leobueno)

I believe that getting a national, syndicated backgammon column should be a future initiative of the USBGF. Why do it locally when the same effort can go into many papers? And a link to the USBGF so that people can get more information about where to play locally and nationally should certainly be a part of it.

I have personally tried to do a column in local Chicago papers and was shot down, but coming from a national organization as a syndication might be more readily received.

Excellent suggestion. ( my original idea was to have a position of the day for beginners and one for more advanced players followed by a tip of the day. ).
