The Kazino Paradise in the occupied part of Cyprus started getting worldwide attention by investing in guess what? The biggest Backgammon events worldwide. In fact the 4rth International tournament is coming up in a few days with added prize of e 30,000 which is perhaps the highest I 've ever heard.

These of course are not intended for the locals. In fact I doubt anyone in Cyprus ever played live using the doubling cube, let aside the fact that 99% of the people who know backgammon in Cyprus don't even know what the doubling cube is.

World known Giants like Masayuki Mochizuki of Japan, Felafel of Israel, Petko Konstandinov Bulgaria, Matt Cohn-Geier USA, plus sadly some BG Giants from Greece, and many many others will attend. Entry fee is as high as 3,000 Euros, imagine what an event that is. This year the Japanese guy will even do a seminar there, followed by a quiz on difficult positions.Shame on him... Unfortunately at top level even backgammon turned out to be a game for professional top level gamblers today.

The worst part of it is it's going to take place at the so called Merit hotel in Kyrenia, that is nothing else than the stolen Hotel of Zephyros, a 5 star hotel in 1974 still holding it's stars,exclusives ownership of a GC refugee.

It seems they 've been organizing all sorts of backgammon events at the occupied for example here's another one that they called 3rd EGBT

In every Backgammon discussion forum you enter they keep on talking for Cyprus's great tourneys.
In this forum for example (where most World Giants concentrate) the vent is already been discussed and I am sure there will be more coming up in mid March.

What is our sorry Government doing about it?

[Lordo]

somebody in the north just took a breath of air, what is this government doing about that.

[Pyrpolizer]

He is using a STOLEN HOTEL!! If he wants to make money and organize gambling events he should do it at his own hotel. The picture of the hotel is there on their brochures it's the Zephyros Hotel. The Government should have already issued an arrest warrant to all those crooks.

[Lordo]

how do you know the owner of the hotel has no land stolen from him from the groc or has not bought his land from somebody who was given it by exchange fo their land in the south. you people are amazing you distinguish between the tc lands stolen in the south and gc lands stolen in the north and legalise all your thefts.

go suck a lemon boy.
