About Bob

While I love playing all kinds of board games, I am a physician by profession. I teach backgammon as a hobby because I like to pass my knowledge and expertise to others. I am available for both in-person and online lessons. In 2022, I played in my first American Backgammon Tour tournament in Los Angeles and I placed 4th/5th in the Advanced division. In June of 2023, I played in another American Backgammon Tour tournament in Los Angeles and I finished 3rd/4th in the speed-gammon tournament. In December of 2023, I played in the California Backgammon Tournament and I was the Consolation winner in the Advanced division, and I finished in 5th place in the Amateur Jackpot tournament. I won 80% of my matches in the California Backgammon Tournament. Just recently I played in the New York Metropolitan Open and I was the finalist (second place) in the Young & Restless event (under 60 years of age) out of 64 entries. But more importantly, one of my students that I started tutoring less than a year ago finished in second place in the women's cup at the same tournament.

About the lesson

I started playing backgammon when I was 10 years old and I've been playing for more than 40 years. I have won many local tournaments as well as online tournaments.

It doesn't matter if you're a novice player or an advanced player. I can help you learn everything you need to know about the game.

Perfect! Bob taught me the essentials of backgammon in one lesson for me to progress from novice to beginner, and answered all the questions that weren’t clear to me as I learnt the rules on my own. I’ve gained a sense of direction and confidence in terms of how to progress in the game after the lesson with Bob, and thank you for staying late!

Perfect! Bob was great. Very patient and explains things clearly. I learned more in an hour with him than I had in several hours of trying to play online and figure it out on my own. Definitely planning to continue lessons.

Bob is an excellent teacher. He knows not just how to play the game at an advanced level, but more importantly how to teach. He has personally taught me how to pip count efficiently + some advanced formulas to calculate take and double positions.

Overall I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game.
