World Backgammon Federation

Member of WBGF

Martin-Frédéric KAHN, aka « Gambitcello », was born in Paris in 1979.
He started to bring his chessboard in the Luxembourg garden when he was 12 years old, then
started to learn backgammon around 17 the only true way : play in a chouette, spot the best
player, observe, debate, compare, pay at first...and then get paid!
From his perspective, backgammon is by essence a sweet mix between the intellectual joy to
study, improve, extricate the ideas of the game, and on the other side the pleasure to
monetize, bring down to reality his knowledge!
His other passion is playing...the cello in an orchestra.
