This year’s, 21st Nordic Open backgammon tournament is sponsored by online backgammon room Play65 and organized as usual by the Danish Backgammon Federation, who do it voluntarily. The backgammon site’s presence is, then, very noticeable. On top of the players and staff uniform – Play65 Nordic Open T-shirts – Play65 has representatives in the consolation flight and at the main championship.

Filomila karantzali and Frederik Bentler who won Play65 qualifiers are currently competing for the Consolations Flight victory with sharks from the caliber of Lars Tralbot, Mochy, Bob Coka and Falafel. At the same time, Karsten Bredahl, the leader of the Play65 Nordic team, who almost championed the Consolations Flight in 2008 Nordic Open, and together with his team members won the teams’ event, has reached the quarterfinals, is competing for the championship title (for the moment of writing).
