Damn!!! I can’t play Alistair tonight. He’s not able to make it, due to having burned his arm with hot glue somehow. He’s supposed to be my opponent at the backgammon club’s regular Monday night match.<\/p>\n
The reason I’m disappointed is that Alistair is the guy who got me into backgammon, and I’m saving my board for him. I’ve decided that I want him to do the honours of playing my first match on this board.<\/p>\n
Instead, I fall into a chouette game. Chouette is an amazing thing. A whole bunch of players all compete against each other in a very complicated way. It’s always for money, and it’s very nerve-wracking. I’ve only played chouette twice, and that was harrowing.<\/p>\n
Tonight it’s also harrowing, but I know that I played really well yesterday, even though I got beaten. I found out that Leon Markowitz is Cape Town’s number two club player. So I’m very chuffed with myself for going the distance with him.<\/p>\n
And because I’m in such a good space, I smack the chouette mob for a winning of R220. And I sell my old board to Majid for R200. So I walk away happy. <\/p>\n
