<History between the Japan Backgammon Society and the Turkish Backgammon Association<\/strong>><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year a Japanese delegation participates in a tournament in Turkey, the sacred land of backgammon, and we have had numerous exchanges with local players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Great East Japan Earthquake struck in 2011, Turkey held a charity tournament and send the money raised to the victims. As a return, Japan sent an autographed board, and World Champion “Mochy” played an exhibition game with the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October of the same year, when the earthquake hit east part of Turkey, JBS held a tournament to raise a donation to support victims.
