Albatross

At the beginning of 2023 we promised each subscriber of the site a small gift from our library. And on New Year’s Eve 2024 we begin to fulfill our promise.

Our ‘Albatross’ and ‘Hameleons’ tournaments had a successful debut in Budapest. The international tour of youth and children’s Russian and international draughts tournaments in Europe has started. The homeland of Franz Liszt welcomed us cordially and warmly.

The second Draughts League tournament was held in Budapest in a friendly fight. The schedule turned out to be stressful for the teams, but they confidently coped with it and demonstrated a good game throughout the tournament.

There is only one day left before the start of our ‘Albatross’ and ‘Hameleons’ tournaments in Budapest! Soon, soon, soon…

There are only 5 days left before the start of so long-awaited tournaments! Only 5 days! And our friends will gather in Budapest, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe!

In the Baltic states the development of draughts on a small board has reached a dead end. The Latvian Federation, pushing its interests in the organized Baltic Cup and thus ‘letting down’ the Lithuanian Federation, has put on tournaments in international draughts.

From 2024, all children’s tournaments and other tournaments of the Diagonal group will be held in the most beautiful cities of Europe and are unlikely to return to Latvia. During a short period of summer, Diagonal Group revised its development strategy and, having signed several agreements with European companies, will begin to develop its tournament network in Europe and maybe somewhere else.
