Days before the last important BMS event of the year, the 2nd Xmas Trophy, Marc Van Damme en Geert Van der Stricht wrapped up another Master Series. They played, recorded and transcribed nine 9-point matches. Marc produced some high quality backgammon and came up with this groundbreaking result :
PR Marc (MS 0049 9*9). Marc loses 4-5.
This is by far the highest level of backgammon ever played in Belgium by a local player. Undoubtedly the result of hard work and daily practice. Marc hereby confirms his unchallenged number 1 spot in Belgium and looks poised to aim for Grandmaster status in 2018. Congratulations, Marc!
Geert was not able to match this ferocious form and failed to improve on his BMS standing. Still a very worthy performance of course :
PR Geert (MS 0049 9*9). Geert wins 5-4.
