On the threshold of golden autumn it is necessary to visit the “golden” Prague
Back in 1981, the Czech Republic hosted the “Golden Prague” international tournament for the first time. At that time, a very young Heinar Yahu (at the age of 45) won the first tournament in Prague. From the first line-up this year Krista, Vaclav, and Sysel, Jiri, are playing. And they are always in the ranks of Czech draughts. In 1998 Vaclav Krista donated his prize to the Czech Draughts federation.
At one time, the winners of the Prague tournament were the legendary Vyacheslav Shchegolev and Pete Roosenburg, as well as the current participant from the Netherlands Heslinga, Erwin. Who will be the winner of the 44th tournament in Prague this year?
The first games brought two unexpected results. See below.
