Dear Mislav,
It was absolutely my pleasure to meet and play such a nice, young gentleman who is a very strong player like you during the European Championship in Velden and i have to thank you for your very kind words about me, i m very honoured.
I am so glad to see what i did was respected like this by you as i know many players would think what i did is too much. But, i believe winning an opponent`s respect is a much bigger success than winning a match and i truly wish one day, such behavious will be so ordinary in backgammon world.
My comment about the situation is; it is 100% obvious that if one makes a mistake and his opponent uses it for his benefit, the opponent is not winning unfairly, i m sure Mislav would not call it "unfairness" if i had used that mistake too... But it is a great feeling to see that your opponent is shaking your hand really from his heart at the end of a match and i will keep on taking every chance to achieve it again and again.
Lastly, thank you dear folks, Fornasir, Tuhtan, Svilo, Strato, Crane and others for your kind words, you all put a big smile on my face :)
Cheers,
