\u201cBackgammon Proficiency Test\u201d also known as \u201cBGTV Proficiency Contest\u201d (in Istanbul Open) was held on Saturday, January 12th, the second day of the Istanbul Open 2019<\/a>. Here we held a proficiency test for seven years consecutively since 2013.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Arda F\u0131nd\u0131ko\u011flu, who is the host of the Istanbul Open and the president of WBF Turkey<\/a>, arranged a special room for testees. All of his staff and C\u00fcneyt Argun Gen\u00e7 helped us a lot during and before the test. We can’t thank them enough.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Eleven participants with various levels from various countries challenged it this year.<\/p>\n

\nArda F\u0131nd\u0131ko\u011flu, C\u00fcneyt Argun Gen\u00e7 and Abdullah Sorg\u00fcven have challenged the same test after the Istanbul Open 2019. They strictly monitored each other to play fair, so we decided to list up their scores on the official results<\/a> just as before.<\/p>\n
