A year ago, 13 participants took our 3rd test, and Giorgos Kleitsas got the highest score with 43 correct answers out of 50, followed by Kimon Papachristopoulos during the Porto Carras International Open on May 11, 2013.

Here is an interesting bar chart of the 3rd test, showing an average score by nation.
It looks to say that Greek is one of the strongest nation in the world.

The test is devised for the intermediate and advanced level players by Mochy and #2 Giant of Backgammon Michihito “Michy” Kageyama, but it is open to anyone.

Please attend it if your schedule permits.
