Hrqls: I am here 18 months only, and I have already won 32 backgammon tournaments (and 159 in total). One of them was a 21-point round-robin.
It really depends a lot on which tournaments, and who is in there. There are about a dozen players you should avoid, without them this tournament would have been done in two to three months; but a single one of them is enough to drag it to 5 years.
(gem) Hvis du vil spille et spil med en modspiller som er på omtrent samme niveau kan du lave en invitation med et ønsket BKR-område. Da kan kun de spillere med den BKR se og acceptere invitationen. (Katechka) (vis alle tips)
