The
word of the Mayor
If the associated web is
particulary rich and dynamic at Compiegne it is because the town
counts today more than 350 associations, the Compiegne
draughters is surely one of the associations which has over the
years grown , always drawing in its ranks better players and in
this way becoming a real showcase in this speciality. Today rich
of more than 30 members, the local Club presidet by Doctor
Norbert Ducos, can be proud of the path its made since its
creation in 1969.
Each one of us can surely remember
the games of draughts played in families since a young age. This
society game , just like chess, with its multiple combinations,
where opposants circle , the attack, is noless than, a tactic
game which calls for big stategic capacities. A disciplin which
the French have always excelled until the 1950’s , still today,
they are placed in a good position.
The town of Compiegne is thus
happy to host the 64th Draught Championship of France
and within this, some of the most experimented specialist
players like Ton Sijbrands , the Grand International Master and
Laurent Nicault Champion of French « National Grand Master »
who disputed his first French Championship in 1985 at Compiegne,
and who comes back to the Imperial city this year to dispute his
title.
Thanks to the Compiegne Draughters
for largely contributing to the organisation of this French
Championship which we wish a lively sucess. Thanks also to its
members for carrying high the Compiegne Colours during this
National Competition. And may the better win !
