Matvey Natanzon
Matvey Natanzon (better known by his pseudonym Falafel) is a backgammon player.
==Life and career==
Natanzon was born in Soviet Russia and moved with his mother to Azor, a small Israeli town near Tel Aviv, in 1972. He moved to Buffalo, New York as a teenager. Natanzon graduated from the New York State University at Buffalo in 1991 with a degree in accounting. Shortly thereafter he moved to Manhattan. Homeless, he lived for 6 months in Washington Square Park and learned to hustle chess and backgammon from local gamblers.〔 Some of Natanzon's associates at that time went on to become famous poker players, including Phil Laak, Gus Hansen, and Abe Mosseri. Natanzon himself plays poker and is part owner of a card parlor in Tel Aviv.〔
In 2005 Natanzon played on the Israeli team in the Nations Cup backgammon tournament.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Israel Jeux - Eric Guedj : Partouche Backgammon vient d’ouvrir le premier portail Web de Backgammon )〕
In 2007, Natanzon was named the number one backgammon player in the world by an unscientifically compiled peer-audited review known as Giants of Backgammon. Although the rankings are not precise, Jake Jacobs, the list's compiler, says about it that "We can never know for certain who is the best player in a given year, but we can confidently eliminate 99.99 per cent. Falafel survived the cut."〔
