MICHAEL Chai-Chong was on Saturday crowned the first two-time winner of the Jamaica Inn Foundation’s Annual Backgammon Jamaica Open, beating Mark Roberts to the US$2,500 championship cheque among other prizes for which he needed assistance to cart from the awards ceremony.
Roberts picked up US$1,000 for placing second in the main tournament and Kynan Cooke US$750, third, all rewarded with varying stays at Jamaica Inn as well as backgammon boards and VIP Attractions prizes redeemable at Club MoBay and Club Kingston.
Chai-Chong, whose route to the title took him past Joey Issa, Mitta Rousseau and William Mahfood, said he was elated to have won a second crown in a game that isn't necessarily decided by skills.
