Ready, set, go! (Blitz)
Before travelling to a two-star hostel 3.5 km from the beach, many small and proud federations hold their national championships in Rapid and Blitz programmes. All these proud federations can offer the winners is no compensation, not even for air travel, a national championship and a hostel with disgusting food. But every pauper dreams of being in charge of something. The truth is frightening…
It is frightening that there are still infantile ‘idiots’ who believe that the poor followers of the Austrian artist will feed them… And they ignore the irrefutable truths and facts.
Look at the composition of the participants. This year, two more clubs from the cities of Limbaži and Sigulda have completely ceased their active activities. The coaches have inevitably grown old, and there is no sign of young replacements. Next year, the club from Kuldiga will ‘die’. But many of our friends in European countries remember ‘Big Rudolf’ from Kuldiga, who was a ‘window to the world of draughts’ for all the children in this small town. Draughts schools are dying out.
And as we said, soon the proud federation will have only one club with three letters left. We should advise them on the other three letters… They will organise a ‘brotherly derby’ together with two secretaries. Anyway… let’s wish them luck! They are like a ray of hope for infantile dreamers of great victories.
Let’s see the results:
