Congratulations to Sergio Scarpetta retaining the Crown by the score of 33 to 23, defeating Alexander Moiseyev in the 2024 World Championship Match for 3-move Checkers at the International Checker Hall of Fame in Petal, Mississippi, USA. Sergio wins with 6 wins, 1 loss, and 23 draws. Sergio has held the title since 2017 when he defeated then Champion Michele Borghetti. Sergio then defended his title against former Champion Ron King in 2019, and against Alex in 2022. This latest match against Alex in 2024 is Sergio's 3rd title defense. Pretty Impressive!

Congratulations also to Alex Moiseyev, for fighting the good fight, and winning game 21. Alex was Checkers 3-Move World Champion from 2002 to 2013.
If I counted correctly, this is the 8th 3-move WCM for Alex. An Incredible Record!

What do you like about checkers?: Hi, checkers is a technical strategy game much like chess with a never ending way to improve your game. I have played both American pool and straights checkers as well as a little 10x10 and they are all great games.

Hi Richard. Sergio runs the game up on a board in 1 minute or so videos on the federdama facebook page. This only other way I could think to get the games is contacting the players.
