FMJD and Europe

What the bolsheviks from the big international federation dreamed of (already not so big and not so…), came true! Thanks to their fruitful work (we won’t explain where), a new international federation IDA has been founded! The international calendar of the World and European Championships with the admission of participants at the expense of the organizers has already been published. There is a Choice now!!

Any winner of the matches for the title of world champions will have to have a sediment. And then there should be a question: “Am I the best? Am I the first? Among those who were left without those who were unfairly excluded? Am I really the best, or is this just an artificially created reality for me?” But whether the participants of the matches will ask themselves this question, we are not sure.

The competition in the national team championship will be very intense. Almost all clubs have both strong players and young talented draughts players who are just taking their first steps at the highest level.

Gradually, the crisis in the draughts world is becoming clearer. New centers of power are emerging and the division into groups may at some time affect the existence of the sport as a whole. In the meantime, there is a devaluation of sports titles.

Small and proud federations managed to slightly improve the situation in the medal standings in the Rapid and Blitz programs at the International Draughts World Championship in Poland. But if you analyze the situation deeper and more carefully, then everything is not so transparent on the side of the medal.

The annual Hijken tournament is coming to an end. At the very beginning of the draughts week the national championship was held in the Rapid program. Jitse Slump won. But it is still unknown who will win the tournament with classic control.

We will find out who is faster in tge Netherlands today. The National Championship in Rapid will be held before a major international tournament.

The monument consists of 15 sculptures. Two blindfolded children are depicted in the center of the composition. At their feet there are books: ‘Russian Folk Tales’ and ‘Fairy Tales’ by Alexander Pushkin. Figures of children are surrounded by sculptures in the form of anthropomorphic monsters, personifying ‘adult’ vices.

Nimbi, Fidele, at 81, takes third place in the Rapid program at the World Championship among veterans in international draughts. Nimbi, Fidele is a frequent guest on various playgrounds on the Internet. We sincerely congratulate him and are glad for his success.

This Sunday the World Championship in international draughts among veterans has begun. 25 people have gathered. And again the Dutch saved the championship. If at one point they decide to participate in the championships like other countries (which send one player each), then such an event will lose its meaning. Not to mention its notorious unprofitability.

The national championship in men’s international draughts has ended in the Netherlands. It is noteworthy that Alexander Shvartsman, who plays under the flag of Israel, took part in it. This added intrigue to the course of the championship, where another player represented the Soviet school. And … what a player!

There have been small rotations of players, and the most notable is the transfer of Guntis Valneris from the VBI Huissen club to the Damcombinatie Fryslân club. In the first round these teams met each other. Guntis has won his former teammate.
