Checkers

Nelsen Angela
Curaçao
1999

This young checkers player has moved on from the Junior checkers circuit and commands quite a presence in the International stage today competing in the Senior PanAm Championships and other International tournaments.

The countries that were represented in the championship checkers match were:
Bonaire (1)
Curaçao (5)
Suriname (1)
Trinidad & Tobago (7)

The Round Robin format was set as a 13 round play down. The winner and champion of the checkers tournament was Nelsen Angela.

The 3rd Junior checkers championship took place in Paramaribo, Suriname. The contenders came from Brazil, Curaçao, Suriname and Trinidad & Tobago. Twelve boys and eight girls challenged each other at the checkerboard for the championship title.

Then in 2004, the Junior championship tournament was back in Curaçao and a now familiar roster of players met to face off at the checkerboard in a round robin series of checkers games. The usual countries sent young hopeful representatives, but this year a new player had been invited to participate in the Junior checkers championship ~ a young grade six player, Emma Munits, from Thornhill, Ontario, Canada.

Two years later, the 5th Panamerican Checkers/Draughts Junior Championship was offering a venue in Port of Spain, Trinidad.

The players’ roster included a field of 10 teenage boys and 6 teenage girls:

Aruba	Thiago Gomez Albertico Arends
Canada	Emma Munits
Curaçao	Rishaira Giterson Turani Lodriguez Vivian Troncon
Bonaire	Chio Feng
Brazil	Humberto Bifolco
Curaçao	Mijail Eisden Quincy Lopez Gedion van Eiken
St. Maartens	Oneida Arrindell
Trinidad	Marcus Ramsundar Devan Rampersad John Mowassie Anita Ramsundar

Young Emma Munits was the only checkers youth representative from outside the Caribbean/South American sector and again she travelled from Canada with her coach and escort, Lily Karmi. Lily’s checkers expertise was put to good use in this tournament, as she took part as the referee for the girls’ championship games.
