Russian Draughts Festival in Kemer

On April 20, 2024, the European championship in Russian draughts started. Excellent conditions and very strong competition add bright colors to this event.
Estonian draughts players also take part (we are fans of them and support them) and players from Moldova, Georgia; and only Latvian draughts players we do not see there. And we will not see them, since many of them have gone to compete in a rural gym. They took a change of shoes and went to sunbathe in the sun!
Apparently, this is the dream of the leaders of Latvian draughts, as they really miss the gym and the village. After all, if you look at the composition of the Board members, there is not a single resident of Riga. One got in the way – but he’s more into psychology. Such psychology of motivation. Perhaps that is why a complaint was filed against the team with the participation of his son by Dutch draughts players at the last World championship in international draughts for match-fixing. Village competitions are the best substitute for the European and World championships. You don’t need to show your skills. Just a change of shoes.
And for those who are seriously interested in draughts:
