The International Draughts Federation (IDF), in accordance with the IDF Competition Calendar for 2024, is holding the World Draughts 64 Championship among veterans in Turkey from November 1 to 11, 2024. Venue: Beach Club Doğanay 5* Hotel, Alanya (Turkey).
On September 23, the IDF office received a letter from the FMJD leadership about the termination of the long-term cooperation agreement. This decision of the FMJD was not a surprise for the IDF. The FMJD leadership has been interfering with our work for many years, trying to destroy the competitor in the face of the IDF and create small weak sections within the FMJD for different types of draughts-64 in order to represent draughts-100 in all international organizations as the main and practically the only international discipline in draughts.
Excellent accommodation conditions, several saunas, a swimming pool and three meals a day, do not affect the intensity of the struggle in the classics at all. It would be wrong to look for the mistakes of world-class grandmasters, referring to their relaxation and inattention due to too good conditions. Everyone is wrong! But in any case, mistakes at this level should not be viewed through a magnifying glass and draw conclusions about the level of training of players.
The Russian Draughts World Championship has started today! The composition and organization are at the highest level! Among the noted participants is Alexander Georgiev! I remember the expression of Alexander, which he addressed to many fans of draughts: “Love draughts and they will reciprocate!”. And draughts on a small board reciprocate and give us vivid emotions.
The World Youth Championship in Russian draughts, as well as the World Cup and the World Championship among veterans will be held in Turkey from November 1 to November 11, 2024. We invite all individual players who want to participate in the World Cup to contact us and leave their applications at: diagonale@albatross.land .
If from one group there are at least three people, then the owner of the first place, we guarantee accommodation from the organizers for free! The conditions are great and we sincerely wish that individual players take part in all the strongest tournaments under the auspices of the IDF! We are waiting for applications and promise legal support to the players.
We remind you! The International Draughts Federation (IDF) complies with all international requirements and is officially registered in Bulgaria! DIAGONALE Group is the official representative of the IDF in Latvia!
Alexander Georgiev won the classic program of the Russian Cup, and Sandaara Aprosimova had no equal in the women’s competition. In the Rapid program, despite the defeat in the middle of the tournament, Sergey Belosheev became the best after winning the last round. But in the women’s competition Sandaara Aprosimova again had no equal.
