On September 23, the IDF office received a letter from the FMJD leadership about the termination of the long-term cooperation agreement. This decision of the FMJD was not a surprise for the IDF. The FMJD leadership has been interfering with our work for many years, trying to destroy the competitor in the face of the IDF and create small weak sections within the FMJD for different types of draughts-64 in order to represent draughts-100 in all international organizations as the main and practically the only international discipline in draughts. After the FMJD General Assembly in 2021 and the arrival of new leadership, there was a chance for joint cooperation between the FMJD and the IDF in one structure for the development of all types of draughts in the world.

Unfortunately, the political situation made its own adjustments. (more…)
