On September 22nd, the last day of the 39th Swedish Open, Michihito “Michy” Kageyama presented the 9th “Backgammon Proficiency Test”. It was the first time for the Swedish Open.
We were very surprised that all the participants performed well. In particular, Thomas Tenland, Giants #26, took an amazing score with 42 (out of 50) correct answers.
His score is currently ranked first overall. The runners-up are Yoshiyuki Nakamura (Japan) and Zdenek Zizka (Czech). You can see all the results so far from here.
