May 30, the 6th round of the fast program.
Arseny Tsynov – Alexander Georgiev. See the diagram.1. White has 5 draws here, but they found a loss that did not exist. …1. 39-33. The easiest way was to move the checker 47! 1… 31-36 towards it! Black bypasses a draw combination after hastily setting the horn – 1… 31-37 2. 33-28 13-18 3. 47-41! 37×46 4. 25-20=. 2. 33-28? And this is already losing completely! You should have gone right or sacrificed! 2… 13-18. |

See the diagram. 2.
A winning 4×4 opposition for black! 3. 25-20*14×25 4. 24-19 18-23! The blacks suddenly entered the lubki and will now beat anyone! 5. 28-22* 23×14 6. 22-18* 25-30 7. 18-12* 30-35 8. 12-08* 15-20! x. |

There is nowhere to put a king, and connecting checkers 47 will extend the resistance only for a few moves! |

May 24, 2024, the 2nd round of the classic program. Alexander Getmansky – Alexander Verkhovykh. .The exchange of pleasantries took place in a fairly simple position – an indicator of the poor playing form of both participants 52… 17-22. It was necessary 52… 09-13! 53. 25-20 14х25 54. 23-19 15-20 55. 24х15 13х24 56. 15-10 25-30 57. 10-04 30-35 58. 04х36 17-22 59. 36х30 35х24= and u.tc.. 53. 47-42! |
 |
See the diagram. 5.
In a real duel, checker 47 went to the left, and the net gain was missed! 53… 27-32* 54. 24-19! |
 |
See the diagram. 6.
54… 22-27*. You can’t go black between checkers because of the majority! 55. 19х10 15х04 56. 26-21! |
 |
See the diagram. 7.
That’s how the backward checker 16 affected! 56… 09-13* 57. 33-28х. An original and rare attack in practice, not from the front, but from behind on a black outpost! |

May 31, 2024, the 8th round of the lightning program.
Alexander Getmansky – Igor Pavlov. See diagram. 8. A popular theoretical position from 34 years ago from the second game (02-02-1990) of the world title match Alexey Chizhov – Ton Sabrands, where the Soviet champion fatally messed up in a theoretical dispute! 17. 42-38. Of course, such a scheme is more dangerous for white, because their checker 27 is under a powerful attack, but in this particular debut, white’s tactics help out! 17… 14-19. (17… 28-32??) 18. 40-35 19×30 19. 35×24 09-14. (19… 28-32??) 20. 45-40 14-19. (20… 28-32??) 21. 40-35 19×30 22. 35×24 03-09. 20… 28-32?? 23. 47-42. Alexey Chizhov here 34 years ago in the aforementioned confrontation was needlessly left without a checker as a result of a rash – 23. 34-29? 01-06 24. 47-42* 04-10 25. 44-40* 28- 32x, etc. 23… 28-32 24. 27-21 16×27 25. 42-37. |

See the diagram 10.
There will be a game! 28. 44-40 23×32 29. 40-35 08-13. The plan with 33-29, 38-33+-= deserves attention, and white is more mobile, but – as Alexander Savin’s analysis proves – black quickly equalizes there! 30. 34-30? Passive exchange on board! 30… 25×34 31. 39×30. Now black limits white’s game very much! 31… 09-14! |
 |
See the diagram. 11.
Because of the combination threats, white has to put a poke. 32. 30-24* 19×30 33. 35×24=, and black is at least no worse off! |
