This weekend, the Baltic states are hosting national team championships in various types of draughts. It is noteworthy that Lithuania, unlike Estonia and Latvia, is holding a national championship in Russian draughts. One of the teams includes a legend making his return to big-time sport – Kybartas, Andrius.
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.
Of course, it is nice when someone likes your Cup and wants to keep it. However, depending on what conditions.
On November 18 and 19, Lithuanian Draughts federation will host the National team championship among clubs and the National blitz championship in Bačkonys. Undoubtedly one of the strongest championships on the small board in European countries.
Qualifying torunaments in groups U-13 and U-19 in Russian draughts were held in Maryampol. Arturas Sabaliauskas won in the U-13 boys group.
