Чекерс — WCDF news 2020

[alemo]

Информация по Турниру Претендентов по чекерс (с жеребьёвкой 3-х полуходов) в 2020 году.

Ниже привожу заявление организаторов. Полностью переводить не буду, есть Google Коротко — Турнир Претендентов в этом году пройдёт в США, город Vidor, штат Техас с 13 по 16 июля. Если кому то нужен вызов для визы — пишите мне, желательно от имени Федерации. В ближайшее время информация по Федерациям будет выслана.

Призовой фонд пока составляет $12,000 но будет расти.

В это же время и в том же месте пройдут Чемпионаты Мира среди женщин и юношей. У них тоже призы будут из того же котелка.

Разноска по призам появится чуть позже.
