Profile	Rainer Birkle already played tournament backgammon in the mid-eighties until he took a twenty-year break from backgammon in 1999. Since 2019 he has been back in full force and started his YouTube channel (www.BackgammonLiveStream.de) in 2021 with regular livestreams and interesting guests. His nickname on Galaxy and Heroes is "Comeback". In 2022 he started his XG2Anki project, which makes it possible to automatically create Anki decks from XG match and position files. At the 9th Merit Open 2022 in Cyprus, he presented his Anki method to a large audience for the first time. e-mail: Rainer@BackgammonLiveStream.de
