Dutch Open Checkers Championship in Culemborg
Alex Baljakin, Hans Jansen, and Gerard Jansen also began with a strong opening, but Anton de Berkel defeated Baljakin’s checker moves. The end result, however, was still a higher win ratio throughout the competition than in previous years. Unforeseen mistakes led to tournament surprises to the delight of the game spectators.
The roster of checkers masters for this competition was not only quite diverse, but rather unique as there were only five GMI (Grandmaster International) players, which included Alex Baljakin, Kees Thijssen, Hans Jansen, Jean-Marc Ndjofang and Macodou N’diaye. The rest of the playing field hosted one (MI) Aleksej Domtsjev, one (MF) Pim Meurs and one (cMN) Bennie Provost, while the remainder of the checkers players ranged in various novice and intermediate levels of expertise. The checkerists consisted of men, women and youth, where all looked to play to the best of their ability.
As the Barnsteen tournament came to a close, Alex Baljakin, Kees Thijssen and Bennie Provoost were tied with four wins and three draws apiece, so the final finish was based on the total T-rating at the end of the competition. Throughout the checkers play, this rating had changed numerous times, as had the leading positions amongst the top ‘dammers’. The final outcomes, however, allotted 11 points to each of the top three players, but Kees finished in first place and won the Gold cup with a T-rating of 2217. Bennie Provoost placed second and won the Silver award with a T-rating of 2207, and Alex Baljakin was 3rd to win the Bronze award. |
