Michihito “Michy” Kageyama (Giants #2 2015-2016) presented our 6th Backgammon Proficiency Test on Saturday, May 21st, the second day of the Capital Classic Championships 2016, Washington.
As we all know, Michy is a highly respected player, and was elected for the second rank in the “Giant of Backgammon 2015-2016”. He has been one of our test writers since two years ago.
This was the first time our test was held in Washington, and we are very happy that we could get a chance to let more players join us.
Nine studious players (including two Giants) participated in it. On the next day Michy gave them a lecture with a lively discussion.
Based on the number of correct answers, John O’Hagan (#22 Giant 2015-2016) and John Klein tied for first place with 39 points (out of 50). Ray Fogerlund (#23 Giant 2015-2016) also got high scores.
