Uli Koch: King Of Backgammon

Uli Koch is sitting on the left
Ever heard of Uli Koch? If you followed the proceedings at the London Open Champion, you would know who he is. He has been called my many the King of Backgammon. How so?
From May 30 to May 31, the tournament was held at Doggett’s Coat and Badge at Blackfriars Bridge in Southwark, sponsored by The CasinoRip.com. Roundabouts a hundred contestants joined the fray to enjoy the games AND hopefully emerge as the champion. But it was a German player who reigned supreme.
Online Casino Reports has the story:
It was the talented German player Uli Koch who scored a magnificent triumph over his competition as he recorded yet another stunning victory to add to his ever-growing list of wins. Koch outplayed Julian Fetterlein in what many considered an exceptionally tense final game. However the victory didn’t come as much of a surprise to those following Koch’s performances. Over the years the German has notched up an impressive series of high-level victories.
For almost 40 years Uli Koch has been fine-tuning his craft and on Sunday 31 May, he nailed the big prize to cap off a successful tournament for the organizers. In total some £12,000 in prizes were awarded. But it was the finale that many aficionados of the game were most excited about. Koch and Fetterlein went head to head with the former emerging victorious to thunderous applause.
As you can see, Koch is not new to the game and all his efforts have paid off. I bet that we’re going to hear more of him soon.
