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.

On preliminary list I saw Rawle Williams ("schoolboy") from Barbados. If he can make it and come to San Remo - he must be added to this pool. You can remove from your list someone :idea: and replace by Rawle

i had to leave a few names out .... not out of disrespect, but because i can only add 10 fields to the poll ... i tried to do the best i could with those 9 spots.... and i added the "other" so everyone got their chance. Technically i would have preferred to add everyone.

I dont know about Mr Williams maybe the fine folks of the WCDF can enlighten us on the matter.
cheers

I guess an Italian will do it due to light travel/distance and home advantage. :-)

that is a great prediction Alex :) that is what i wanted .... to hear people's thoughts....

i personally think that (in no particular order) Richard Beckwith, Signore Scarpetta and Mr Kondlo will be the top 3 ......with a big question mark and a definite dark horse status to Mr Nqezo who is an unknown quantity....

Beckwih or Morrison :mrgreen: Both are around the same level, but Jim has less practice this year which may prohibit him to win event.

If Anthony do his best - all three American players will be among top 6 !

Here are my estimates for top 6:

Jim Morrison (USA)
Richard Beckwith (USA)
Rawle Williams (BAR)
Lubabalo Kondlo (Checkers Club from SA Province)
Jack Francis (BAR)
Anthony Bishop (USA)

Sergio Scarpetta (ITA) and Garret Owens (IRE) also have some chances to get on top 6.
