Play65 Georgia Hosts Friendly Russian vs Georgian Match

Israel's online backgammon website Play65 has launched its Georgian platform Play65.ge and came to realize that despite backgammon's reputation as a war game, Play65 brings peace to bloodshed areas, such as the Russia-Georgia boarder. The platform enables people from both sides of the barricade to come to terms, at least when it comes to their mutual backgammon match.

One day after Play65.ge was launched, it hosted a friendly game between representatives of opposing sides: the white checkers of the backgammon board were activated by Zaza83, 29 year old backgammon fan of Tbilisi, while the Russian backgammon veteran Kirill9009 moved the black checkers.

Despite losing to his opponent, Zaza83 said he was pleased with the opportunity to communicate with people from the other side of the border while sharing a 3D backgammon board. "I've been playing backgammon since I was 6... I just started playing online this week, but I plan to continue and I'm sure I'll get to compete against other Russian players."

It does not have to be a beginning of an ethnical joke nor a utopian fantasy of people who are not aware of recent political news; it is the everyday reality on the Play65 backgammon site, which brings together thousands of players from all over the world and provides them with one backgammon platform on which they can communicate and share in their passion for this game.

Play65 Georgia is the 20th backgammon platform of the popular online backgammon network and the first site to approach the people of Georgia, bringing them the online, multi player variation of their national game, Nardi in their very own language. Newly registered members of Play65.ge can earn a free $5 instant bonus when signing up and enjoy 24/7 online backgammon games and tournaments with people from around the world.
