Nice article in the Yorkton Record on Backgammon
Online play certainly plays into popularity, in particular recently in the face of a worldwide pandemic. |
“The social face-to-face aspect of backgammon has always been a main drawing card,” said Joseph. “the coronavirus has unfortunately impacted upon many organizations’ plans to deliver ‘Live’ tournaments during the spring and summer of 2020. However, thanks to the wonders of the internet, we have seen that a huge amount of people still partake.”
“Online platforms have proved to be so popular during the lockdown that on a few rare occasions the servers have actually become overloaded! “I don’t have any figures, but I have a good feeling that even more people are playing formal backgammon matches than normal.”
General interest in backgammon appears on the upswing.
