ABOUT BACKGAMMON IN BERLIN
Backgammon in Berlin is the new website for everyone who plays backgammon in Berlin. Professionals and beginners, intermediates and recreational players, men and women, old and young should be addressed equally. The new site should be easily accessible, transparent and informative for everyone.
The old Berlin Backgammon site remains as a chronicle and archive. It is an extensive and sometimes surprising treasure trove of reports, photos and data from the past decade of backgammon in Berlin.
The forced Corona break and the transition of the organization of the Meisterserie from Dankwart Plattner to the current team are preparing the cut, which should also be marked by the change of name. This site is now responsible for the present and future of backgammon in Berlin.

Backgammon is the most dynamic of the board games with great complexity and depth. It knows only one direction for both sides: towards each other and past each other. Complicated calculations, quick decisions and great tactical flexibility are required here. What was still correct in the move can be canceled with one throw and make a thorough change of strategy necessary. A game like life itself: Some plans work out and many become worthless because of chance.
STRATEGY
LUCK
Luck is an easy whore
And does't like staying in the same place;
She brushes your hair from your forehead
And kisses you quickly and flutters away.
On the contrary, Mrs. misfortune has it
pressed you dearly to your heart;
She says she's in no hurry
Sits by your bed and knits.
Heinrich Heine 1851
Man plays only where he is man in the full meaning of the word, and he is only fully man where he plays.

Friedrich Schiller 1795
