An email i got today from Hugh Devlin WCDF saying the Alex-Ron match was off due to no sponsor>??Is this true.
I was under the impression that it was all set for Barbados in the summer.
What are your thoughts on this ?.

Re: Mois v King ...OFF
Tommy, the main thing is - I am not very active this year, dislike 2005, and as result ... nothing happened !!!
When I was Challenger in 2001-2002 I did all my best to find sponsors and bid. I think this is responsibility of Challenger and World Federation.
I am open for any interesting news and invitations, including Barbados. My relations with R. King were restrored successfully several years ago and today they don't block anything.
Mr. Alan Millhone is a "mediator person" this time and probably he can tell us something optimistic

Anyway - In the meantime I am expecting an official letter or email from World Checkers and Draughts Federation (WCDF) and then I reconsider my calendar this year. I promised my kids something this year.

Re: Mois v King ...OFF
No 100% official news, but after exchanging by emails I can say that we have preliminary agreement to play match on Barbados at the end of May - beginning of June covering Memorial Day
Bid is still subject to be determined and Ron King and his wife work hard with sponsors now. I accepted this "preliminary agreement". Everything will be finalize timely in the next couple months.
My deep sympathy to Ron King, his wife and family for losing recently a family member. This was actually the reason why we didn't hear from them quite a time.
Sincerely,
Alex Moiseyev

No topic.
Re: Mois v King ...OFF
Its great news that you got a reply from Ron and the match will most likely go ahead as planned.Its unfortunate the loss of a family member,we can all sympathise with that.
This match needs to be played in so far as that after, it will be an end of a great saga betwen you both and the end of a time in draughts that has been both controversial and uplifting for the game,whoever triumphs.
I f Ron wins then the pot will still be on the boil,should he not then i cannot see where any serious challenge might come from for a long time
So my the best man win!!.But most of all i hope draughts is the real winner.

Last news.
Today I had received an email from WCDF (World Checkers and Draughts Federation) President Mr. Devlin who informed me officially that 3-move World Title Match has been postponed to September - due to the fact that no bids has been made until now.
Respectfully,

3-move WCM 2007
For everyone who concerned ...
We came to the final stage of negotiatons and setting match. As of today, two official bids submitted to WCDF - Barbados and American, and WCDF is going to make a final selection in the very nearest future (1-2 weeks ?). After then we'll finalize details - dates / venue / etc, and match will be set.
American bid has preliminary dates proposal - September over Labor Date, Barbados bid - beginning of October ... or later this year, due to other circumstancies.
