Title: FALAFEL R.I.P
Post by: Ashi on February 16, 2020, 02:41:46 AM
Legendary backgammon player Michel Natanzon (known as "Falafel") has past away yesterday.
He was 51 years old and died from brain cancer.
Falafel was world best backgammon player twice, at 2007 and 2011.
I could'nt find an English article so here is a Hebrew one:
