In Response To: The 6 reasons why Backgammon is the great game (Mochy)

This power point of Mochy's is simply an outline for the presentation he gave. The presentation was much more powerful than the outline, as Mochy went very personally into his own journey into backgammon and his joy in relationships he has developed with people all over the world. From the power point you will not get how much he enjoys the game and the people and how much respect he has for the entire backgammon community.

There is one slide where he mentions that teaching backgammon to children might be "dangerous." That might seem very strange if you do not know that he meant that younger people might become obsessed with the game, just as he did, and it might keep them from their studies or other obligations. The room was completely full and people were mesmerized by his wonderful story.
