FIBS-Party 2007 Photos 2007-08-29
The 2007 FIBS-Party was again a great success. Actually most participants preferred the new modus, having the party in a big, rented cottage. The
party feeling was more intense this way and one could play the whole night through, which actually many did.
Enjoy the photos!

The first match from the World Championships 2007 2007-07-11
With Achim Müller's kind permission, I am happy to be able to offer his 1st round match against the German Norbert Wiebusch from this year's
World Championship in Monte Carlo for Download here.
Both players played at a very high level! It was a pity that one of them had to lose.
More about the match and some impressions of the World Championships can be found
on Achim Müller's Monte Carlo 2007 Blog.
(P.S.: Yes, I know - the casino in Monte Carlo isn't the venue for the World Championships any more.)

Back Home ! 2007-06-28
After 5 1/2 months at sea (16 ports, 12 countries, 3 continents) I returned home yesterday. I most certainly missed a lot of
recent backgammon news and am presently trying to catch up as soon as possible.
I fear that some e-mails did not get through to me while at sea. Anyone still missing a reply on one of his/her e-mails, please send it again. I
promise to reply to any message!
Just to get a little impression of my time at sea, here a photo taken as I was searching my way through a field of ice-floes
north of Iceland:
