Two Play65 players got extra bonuses this week: the winner of last week’s backgammon quiz and the winner of the first quarterly bonus who was rewarded with a $200 bonus.

First, the answer to last week’s quiz - asking about the only three-times European backgammon champion - is François Tardieu. The French backgammon player, number 3 on the Giants of Backgammon list 2005-2007, has been playing backgammon seriously for over 20 years. Recently, he made some headlines in the poker world, winning the Partouche Poker Tour Super Satellite and qualifying for the Main Event scheduled to September.

The winner of the $200 quarterly bonus draw is a veteran Australian player known as KevinJessup who has been playing backgammon on Play65 since August 2008 and was recently named the winner of the 4th backgammon quiz after knowing that Kylie Minogue is the singer who was caught playing backgammon at the luxurious Pikes Hotel in San Antonio, Ibiza.

You still got a chance to win the next $200 quarterly bonus. Start by answering the current week’s quiz: what is emotional backgammon?
