First you criticize me when I try to do the right thing. Then you tell me to get a job. You must be my mother!

Hello Hugh:

You are most welcome to begin a fund for Mr. Borgehti . I know nothing about his background and circumstances ?

GM Kondlo is my own personal project as you well know. I make no apologies to anyone on the face of the earth for that.

At our recent ACF Nationals Mr. Ron King and a host of other GM and Masters and to include other players asked where Kondlo was ? The Masters seek tuff competition in their fold.

Sincerely:
Alan Millhone, President
American Checker Federation

What do you like about checkers?: I enjoy learning more and more as i go. despite its alleged simplicity the game is incredibly complex and rewarding.

Guys, I think the federation should be commended in trying to help Mr. Kondlo travel to a tournament. The better players that a federation can attract to its tournaments the stronger its player base will eventually become. Instead of criticising we should try to help.

Danny you cant legislate for misery-guts.................begrudgers to a man....especially Moiseyev.Of all pple yu think he would know better.Someone gona have to take him in hand before he gets too big for his boots.!!

No numbered boards no this no that................just to please him.......and all he does is take take take..........lets have a POLL.


AND JUST TO REMIND YALL............HERES HIS TAKE ON IT;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;


Billy, I am with you. Lubabalo is potential, true, but we also have many potential and pre-potential here in America. Without serious permanent sponsors It is impossible to help everyone in the world! Our sources are very limited but if we have few extra bucks, I would certainly invest them into American players - this is our future.

If we have an opportunity to collect $2,000-$2,500, that will be more than enough to cover 75%-100% expances for 4-5 outstanding young players from Kurnik to travel to OKC.

This may become a real boom among other Kurnik players - is that what we wanted and looking for ??

I think Fredo is much more potential to become a 3-moves world champion than Lubabalo. And Nick indeed maybe our GAYP American hope ... who knows ???

Respectfully,

Alex Moiseyev

Hi Tommy, Yes I certainly agree it is impossible to help fund every player that needs it. Since the Kondlo funding started and I mentioned my friend Vern I had alot of people write me and mention their friends and situations. So that topic really took off and got big and spreaded out along with some post on the forum of funding. It will be great to have people donate for funding for those unfortunate but the only problem is people will take advantage of the system that really dont need it. And yes I agree with kurnik players being very talented like Fredo and my friend Ray. As for Nick he already is involved in tournaments. Anyways thanks for the comment of wanting to support American players. Have a good one Tommy. Billy
