Michael Nathanson, a Russian immigrant raised by a single mother, found himself poor, hungry, and homeless after graduating from Buffalo University in New York. He found himself living in a park, playing backgammon for just enough money to live on falafel for a year. Now known as Falafel, he is the world’s greatest backgammon player. Like Deep Blue is for chess, Snowy is the undefeatable computer program for backgammon. Snowy analyzed that Falafel is the best because every time he rolls the dice, he chooses the most accurate course of game, and this is his story.
