Come visit us! Traditions that never go out of style

01.04.2026

The Squirrel from Nõmme Kevad 2026 invites you once again to visit over the Easter weekend! One of Estonia’s oldest clubs looks forward to welcoming guests and is eager to meet new young talents who want to try their hand at playing on the large board. At Nõmme Kevad 2026, you’ll be greeted with kindness and warmth, respect, and care from the organizers. Come and enjoy the love of the game of checkers from April 10 to April 12, 2026!

Two years ago, Ruslan Peshcherov attended the tournament; a year ago, the legendary Zoya Golubeva brought her students. The tournament’s constant and legendary driving force is Heinar Jahu. At 92 years old, Heinar is determined to play again this year. He serves as an inspiration to many draughts players and a symbol of intellectual longevity.

Register for the tournament by sending an application to nommekabe@gmail.com and you’ll receive a 15% discount on hotel accommodations! A room for two with breakfast will cost just 53 euros!

Tallinn is one of the most beautiful modern cities. There are many so-called art spaces, Kadriorg Park with its Japanese cherry blossom garden, the Rotermann Quarter, and the Maritime Museum. And so much, so much more to see and do. Make up your mind and come visit!
