EARLY YEARS
Bogidar Iliev, a.k.a. Bojo was born in 1978 in the Bulgarian capital Sofia.
Thanks to his grandmother he learned how to play tabla (cubeless
backgammon) at the age of 4. Ever since tabla became his love, passion,
challenge and an endless life adventure. He begun playing mixed tabla in a
decent fashion, from around the age of 7. Mixed tabla means 3
completely different games that together form the traditional way that
people play backgammon in Bulgaria. In addition to his natural flair and
understanding of tabla, in his teen years Bojo had total supremacy and
domination over his school mates, friends and other tabla players.

 

SLAVIA BACKGAMMON CLUB
On the 2nd of June 2002 Bogidar Iliev created and set up the "Slavia
Backgammon Club", the goal was to save for future generations the
traditional way of playing tabla in Bulgaria. Since its inception in 2002, he
has organised 19 annual championships and 583 weekly tournaments.
