Introducing the World Champion Backgammon Player

Meet the world champion backgammon player, Masayuki Mochizuki.

He goes by the name Mochy. He was born January 9, 1979 in Tokyo, Japan and is a member of the Japanese Backgammon League, who has played professionally on the international circuit for more than decade. In 2009, Mochy has won the Monte Carlo Backgammon World Championship.

All hail Mochy!

Several years ago, Mochy decided to get out to as many live events as possible and is actually the most-travelled of Japanese players. He says his favorite venue is the annual Barriere event at Enghein-les-Bains near Paris, France.

Amongst many other money wins along the way, the young bachelor was the Champion at the 2003 Las Vegas Open, the 2005 Bristol “Wide” Open and the 2006 Belgian Open. He also won the Second Consolation of the 2006 World Backgammon Championship in Monte Carlo, three years before he was awarded world champion.

Masayuki trains himself by dedicating a lot of time to studying positions from his matches played live at tournaments as well as on backgammon servers such as Play65, where he also serves as an advisor in detecting backgammon bots. Mochy has also read practically all of the most important books on the strategy of the game.

As have I.

But I ain’t no champion gammon player.

So I admire Mochy. Watch this space for an interview with him sometime in upcoming months.
