Other Interests & Hobbies: Used to have many but Backgammon "covered" them all

Person I'd like most to meet: Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud... although are both dead

If I could change anything in the world, I would... bring the "Wind of Change" all over the world...!

If I could change anything in the Backgammon world, I would... like to see a Greek BG-Player winning the European or even more the World title but first of all I would like to see some Tournaments in Greece, where rarely one takes place.

Additional comments: I read somewhere that there are more Backgammon boards than TV sets in Greece. That can be true, but unfortunately the official backgammon game is unfamiliar to most of the Greeks... that is a pity, if you consider how many millions of Greeks have already an idea about the game but they don’t know the official one.
