At this moment we expect app. 100 participants. Go to the list of participants!


14 Januar 2012

At this moment there are 84 inscriptions for this tournament and we still have four months to go! If you want to participate at this particular event, don't hesitate to mail the organization: tjonaong@gmail.com


29 December 2011

There is a big chance that Alexej Tsjizjow will participate in Thailand Open 2012. Maybe some of his Chinese students from the province Hubei come with him. Possibly we have to look for a bigger players room, since the number of participants reaches the 70. But that is our problem, not the problem of draughts players who want to go to Thailand Open 2012!


6 October 2011

We welcome a special service of our sponsor MeteoConsult. Click on the logo on the right of this page (or here) and you will see the current weather (temperature, rainfall) in Pattaya.

The list of participants is growing and growing. And Thailand Open on Facebook has already 616 friends. We don't hope they will come all together!

Before 1940 International draughts was only popular in The Netherlands, Belgium, France and some African countries. These days however nearly the whole world is well known with the game on the 100 fields, also new draughts countries like China, India, Japan and Thailand.

In eight years Thailand Open has developed from a little tournament for a group of Dutch players, to an international event with participation of the best players in the world: world champions Alexej Tsjizjow, Alexander Schwarzman and Slawa Sjtsjocholjew, all from Russia, African champions Jean-Marc Ndjofang and Macodou N'Diaye and Dutch champion Ron Heusdens. 
By the way, look at the top of this page: all these countries were present in one or more of the last seven editions of Thailand Open!

 
The winners of Thailand Open 2011 proudly present their cups.

5th: Erik Maijenburg (Netherlands)
4th: Andrew Tjon A Ong (Netherlands/Surinam)
3rd: Ramon Sakidin (Netherlands/Surinam)
2nd: Jean-Marc Ndjofang (Cameroon)
1st: Macodou N'Diaye (Senegal)


Of course the tournament is recognized by the world draughts federation (FMJD), which is a member of GAISF (General Association of International Sports Federations). Participants can win or lose international rating points and eventually gain the title of International Master or International Grandmaster.


The hopes for the future: young Chinese players win prizes in their categories.


However, the atmosphere in this tournament is very friendly. People from all countries meet each other and stay friends for the rest of their lives, using a social medium like Facebook for exchanging photographs and draughts news. It is not necessary to be a strong player to take part in Thailand Open. Also 'weak' players can win prizes since the tournament is divided is several rating categories.
