In our time of development of bloggers and social networks, to our surprise, the number of good and kind children’s writers is decreasing. The children’s pages about checkers on various websites have completely disappeared. And we decided…
In our difficult time of replacing moral principles with material goals, without the constructive idea of the community of all and the equal value of everyone before God, it is very difficult to preserve the most important thing – Love and Respect for a Person. It can be difficult to maintain Decency, Self-Loyalty, and Humanity.
Money, egocentrism and ambition, as well as fragmented perception of reality, along with the primitivism of hobbies, have become a real scourge of our time. Some have begun to forget their History, their Culture, and many other things that form the basis of our life on Earth.
But.. We will overcome all the difficulties and trials that have been given to us! And we will become even stronger!
We thank our subscribers, readers, draughts players and everyone who was with us in 2024! Thank you for your trust in us! We will try to work for you and become better, more dynamic and follow all the changes in the world of draughts!
We wish you all a Happy New Year 2025 and wish that your families are strong, that Comfort and Love reign at home, that Luck accompanies you and Fortune favors you in business! Let adversity pass you by! Be happy!
Love Draughts, and they’ll love you back!
Happy New Year 2025!

It was warm and festive in Bratislava. Some of our players managed to visit the Bratislava Castle and stroll through the streets of lively Bratislava! In the evening in Bratislava, it is unusually noisy and youth speech sounds in different European languages. We enjoyed another meeting with friends! And we have more of them after this tournament.
Yakov Schaus, Markiel Fazylov, Yuri Kirillov and of course Alexander Shvartsman. And also the charming Petra Dushkova, the inimitable Katalin Mezheschan from Hungary and amazing Dutch draughts players! And all this at our international tournament in Bratislava from December 20 to December 22. You will still have time to jump into the last carriage of our Christmas train! Write and we will respond!

Sports is beyond politics. It takes courage and bravery to follow this principle. We express our gratitude to Leszek Petlicki for his courage and deed. The results of the European Championship for people with special needs are in our post.
We started with 4 teams. This was the beginning of our long journey towards creating a good tournament and competitive environment. In 2023, we have already assembled 7 teams. And we hope the upward movement will continue. Players who trust us know that we stand for quality and adherence to the principles of beauty, harmony and sportsmanship.
We will start the new season of our tournaments, which are loved by many children, in Budapest. This time ‘Albatross’ and ‘Chameleon’ will continue their journey through the most beautiful cities in Europe. In 2024 we will hold tournaments in Bratislava and Rome!
May your families be happy, strong and resilient in the New Year in front of any difficulties in life! We say thank you to all those who were with us and remain; who, with their loyalty and courage, showed that real friends are known in trouble! We value people’s ability to act! Happy New Year 2024!
You will recognize almost everyone without our tips. You will find Katalin, Kitti and Sergei… If you look closely, you will see both the impressive Markiel and the magnificent Denis.
At the beginning of 2023 we promised each subscriber of the site a small gift from our library. And on New Year’s Eve 2024 we begin to fulfill our promise.
Our ‘Albatross’ and ‘Hameleons’ tournaments had a successful debut in Budapest. The international tour of youth and children’s Russian and international draughts tournaments in Europe has started. The homeland of Franz Liszt welcomed us cordially and warmly.
