Congratulations to

The organisers
The referees
The participants, and notably the winners!!

for an apparently well organised and sporting WTQ.

Unfortunately I was unable to make it due to exams. I have however obtained my engineering degree (despite my 45 years young) and I am delighted to say that after a 3 year break I have been back in serious training since last week.

I plan to make at least two ty's in 2013. One will be the Scottish, and the other could be the US nats, depending on dates etc.

In the mean time...

William

I have however obtained my engineering degree...

Your hard work and perseverance seem to have paid off. Good forture, good health and good checkers to you in the future.

Just looked a little bit at games and decided to share this dance music which in my eyes well reflects atmposphere and spirit in Lille

First class pictures Ingo, of a beautiful city!!

[Alex_Moiseyev]

Pictures which I posted, were made by Igor Martinov in Lille ... or at least he shared them with us in his wonderful article on Russian checkers site. Ingo also posted some other nice pictures.

In ideal world - we have to have a full complete link on WCDF site to Lille event, including results, photos, games, IMSA articles and Daily Bulletin etc. After several years it will be impossible to navigate and research things on this forum. So far most information is in this topic.

Sorry Igor M...........GREAT SHOTS INDEED.
