Masayuki “Mochy” Mochizuki (Giants #1 2015-2016) presented our 6th “Backgammon Proficiency Test” on Thursday, July 28th – the third day of the 41st Backgammon World Championship, Monte Carlo, Monaco.

That was the third year our test had been held there. The previous articles are here:

• 5th Proficiency Test – Round 3 @ 40th World Championship
• The 4th Backgammon Proficiency Test in 39th Backgammon World Championship

Twenty-two players took time to challenge it, and Mochy gave them the in-depth lecture with review of the answers on the next day.

The results were really high-level, and Falafel (USA, Giants #4) got the top score with 40 points (out of 50), followed by Steen Gronbech (Denmark, Giants #14). Currently, Falafel stands in first place in terms of the number of right answers among all of the testees.

Furthermore, one of our testees, Jorgen Granstedt (Sweden) won the 41st Backgammon World Championship and got THREE time World Champion! Congratulations!!
