In Response To: Will we ever see a genuine backgammon prodigy? (Long) (Timothy Chow)

I would guess that there are more people playing backgammon now than ever before in history. What has changed is that they are playing it online. Our culture of playing backgammon live in public has declined. The game has not.

Chess is thriving with young players. When I play at a Chess tournament, roughly 50% are high school age or younger.
