### Backgammon is not a game. It is a conversation between two minds. On **May 10 at 7:00 PM**, a private circle gathers in Dubai — entrepreneurs, business owners, investors and executives from the Business Chess & Backgammon international community. The evening centres around backgammon. A game where strategy meets intuition. Where character reveals itself under pressure. Where silence between moves speaks louder than words. Where the person sitting across from you becomes real — not a title, not a role. Backgammon is just the excuse. The real value is the people at the table. *** **Why Backgammon?** One of the oldest games in the world. Played by merchants, strategists and rulers for thousands of years. It teaches you to make decisions under uncertainty. To stay composed under pressure. To read the situation several moves ahead. The same qualities that define a strong entrepreneur. Your level of play does not matter. We play for pleasure — not for victory. *** **The Format** ♟ Backgammon and chess — no ratings, no pressure ♟ Intimate setting — a small, carefully selected group ♟ Dialogue between equals — no pitches, no roles ♟ Thoughtfully chosen venue with attention to atmosphere and detail No stage. No agenda. No random guests. *** **About the Community** Business Chess & Backgammon is an international community. 5 years · 8 countries · 19 cities · 3,000+ members In Dubai, we have gathered every Sunday for 4 years. A stable, deliberately curated format built around depth, taste and meaningful connection. *** **Who Attends** Entrepreneurs · Business Owners · Investors · Executives · Dubai Expats *** 📅 May 10 · Sunday 🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM 📍 Dubai *(location shared upon confirmation)* 💎 Contribution: 100 AED 🔒 By application only · Limited spots *Backgammon is just the excuse.* *The real value is the people you meet.* **→ Request to Join** ##

The goal of this event is to foster mathematical thinking and generate the next generation of independent mathematicians. This event is divided into two segments: The first segment is a warm-up round in which we shall solve high school maths problems. Feel free to bring your own problems and books! You may also want to bring a scientific calculator. The second segment is an introduction to mathematical logic and proof-writing. The problems solved in this segment will be of a different nature. An online group will also be created for mathematical discussions and to keep a record of whatever was covered. This is essential as mathematics is a discipline that continually builds upon the knowledge accumulated so far. Make sure to bring pens and a notebook (or plenty of A4 paper, whichever you prefer). **Whatsapp link**: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5

**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens** **This month’s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on women’s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.** Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared. Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosnia—until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend—the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*

IMPORTANT!!! THE DATE OF THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SUNDAY MAY 17, 2026!!! A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025. The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. Please be ready to discuss the movie by 7PM. Thanks. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.
