My father is a backgammon grandmaster. He has been winning in a backgammon tournaments either in a casino or thru online backgammon. He says playing the game requires both skills and strategies. Sometimes he let me watch him play backgammon online and told he will coach me when the time comes I have a degree and can play the game legally. But for now I have to content myself in watching him and having a good grades, so as to keep the other half of the bargain with my father.
