Searching for American player to be nominated to WQT.

Post by Alex_Moiseyev »

Hello everyone!

WHAT - 2023 GAYP WQT
WHERE - Turkey, Antalya
WHEN - May 2-5, 2023
HOW - Swiss 8-9 rounds based on number of players

As usually, we are going to send this year to GAYP World Qualify Tournament 4 American players: 2 from ACF and 2 from ICHF.

One spot from ICHF is still available - due to unfortunate fact that several good American players can’t make it this year for various reasons - financial, health, vacation, family etc

It can be you !

We are expecting this year the highest attendance in GAYP WQT in the last two decades or maybe even overall, totaling more than 30 players from 12 or more countries + highest quality of crowd:

4 World Champions - S. Scarpetta, R. King, L, Kondlo, A. Moiseyev;
3 more grandmasters - S. McCosker, J. Francis, M. Nonyukela,
and 2-3 African players who never played in real events but are at grandmasters level;
Several outstanding Masters: A. Holmes, M. Sokolovsky, V. Lapin, I. Martynov.

Antalya is well known famous Turkey resort, relatively not very expansive, excellent place for family vacation. first week of May is probably best time of year in Antalya with average temperature 75-80 degrees. Hotel is also high quality running as 8.0 from 10 scale, "all inclusive" + 650 feets from private sandy beach.

At least two players are coming to play in WQT with their wives and stay longer.

If you are interesting and want to attend this truly historic checkers event and be part of this history - send me emai and I will send you some related documents with Rules and Regulations, Schedule, list of players

In addition -

Major level players shall not be afraid of such strong crowd, because probably 50% of players are around or below average level.
