I have been away from 10x10 for long time now , but i give solution a try :: 3228 ; x ; 2419 ; x ; x ; x ; and black must move the piece being attacked by king then leading to winning endgame ,,,,Comments welcome lol lol I just hope that I didnt dual your position lol
Your solution is correct, but you didn't finish it. I am giving here a full solution of combination and ending. This solution is writing in professional "compress" way as it required by FMJD rules in championship and contests.
A. (22), 39(21), 43(227), 38(31,33), 43(36), 37+. B. (22), 31(21,39), 11(27), 44/50, 28, 46+. C. (32), 16(39), 49+.
I am still in Columbus and will be working by the end of week and then come to Beijing. I don't have any extra vacation days to come earlier or leave later.
Hallo everyone, directly from the WMSG.
Arrived safely together with Igor Martynov yertreday and met many checker players. Kim, Alex, Richard, Jim, Rawle, William, all Durdyevs, and a few chess and draughts players that I know from previous years.
Meals, rooms and the venue r excellent, and there r simply too many placed here to visit them all.
Should not spent so much time writing on the internet, maybe.
Rawle also told me he saw Danny Oliphant, Shane, Hugh and The Caws.
Igor Keder is sitting two chairs besisde me and also the plazers from Ukraine, Belarussia and Azerbaidzan arrived.
Looks like the best event for years and the best place to meet plazers from all over the wordl.
Try to sent more tomorrow,
Ingo Zachos

Well, the internet access is quite good.
In fact we have ffree internet in ghe plazing venue for draughts.
I have volunteered as the man who writes daily repotrs for the FMJD webpage and the WMSG dailz bulletin here in Beijing, so I may not have much time to post here on the forum.
Good news:
Players from mongolia, azerbaidzan, ukraine, russia, and itraly arrived.
And mazbe also from japan and uzbekistan, but no one knows exactly, as no one knows how they look like.
More of it later , maybe here but you better follow the website on the WMSG.
