Who is Mochy?

It has been my privilege and pleasure to know Mochy for five years. The Japanese have a great culture; the vast majority of them are exceptionally honest and polite. Mochy is no exception.
On Tuesday nights in Tokyo, several backgammon players meet at an Italian Café. Mochy is usually there, and he often gives free backgammon lessons to beginners. He also goes once a month to his old high school in Nishi-Azabu to teach the boys in their backgammon club. I know of no other top player who generously donates his time for the good of the game to the extent Mochy does. I am predicting that, as a result of Mochy’s contributions to the game in Japan, they will have many great players in years to come.
Mochy has been dedicated to learning backgammon for a long time. Several years ago he spent about six months in Denmark for the express purpose of improving his game. His hard work has paid off.
Mochy is one of the very best players on the planet and he is also one of backgammon’s greatest ambassadors. We all wish you the very best!
