From the dictionary: “A dead-end branch of evolution is a branch that has exhausted the resource of evolutionary plasticity, or which is simply unlucky enough to fall under a particularly wide selection roller when the possibilities of adaptation do not keep pace with the environment”.
The final of the Latvian Boys’ and girls’ International Draughts Championship starts today. The leaders in each group are well-known and we will not see competition in some groups. We will monitor the progress of the struggle.
There are fewer and fewer participants and clubs in the group of 8-year-old draughts players. The crisis, which began under the new leadership, continues to intensify. Soon, as we joked earlier, medals will be awarded to those who just come to play draughts.
As befits a three-letter club, despite the huge number of teams under its banner, it still remained without gold medals. Soon, in order to celebrate their victory in the overall championship, they will have to ask not only the draughtsmen from DK Hameleons and Bolderaja not to come, but also the Dambrete club to refuse to participate.
Latvia’s weakest international draughts championships on the big board have started. The championships are getting weaker year by year. Players like Guntis Valneris, Roberts Misans, Zoya Golubeva simply stopped participating in them. Over the years there have been no young players who have shown a really decent level.

The Latvian Student Championship was recently held. Of the 19 people, almost half of the participants were younger than freshmen and still without a mustache.

The secretary (let us remind you that the profession is mainly female) of an international organization once again has misunderstood the order. He has hurried to run, so to speak, ahead of the locomotive.
Two acrobatic brothers who are accomplices of the current draughts leadership of the proud federation and the secretary of some international organization can be satisfied. The number of clubs is inexorably decreasing. And soon it will be possible to post their photos everywhere, not forgetting the three letters of the most “progressive” club in the world.
Continuing a phrase from an old comedy movie, we would add: “We should have richer frames..The semifinals of the Latvian International Draughts Championship are taking place on a large board this weekend.
Bauska won the national championship among Russian draughts teams in Latvia! Since Soviet times, the Russian draughts school has been extremely strong. Back in the days of Laimonis Zalitis, it was not easy to defeat the guys from Bauska.
The school hall in Liepup has smoothly moved to the sports hall of the school in Jelgava. And during these five years of the reign of the sweet-voiced Secretary General, nothing has changed. On the contrary, it has worsened. Except for the brilliant three letters.
