We hope that the tournament will become an event that will set the standard for the future, with participants from all over the world, awesome games, new friendships and, of course, new players of the age-old mind sport of Frisian Draughts, the original variant of 100-square draughts that has been played in the province of Fryslân for more than 400 years. City Hall You will be able to follow the games both on Toernooibase (www. toernooibase.kndb.nl) and by live stream on www.frisiandraughts. com. But of course, visitors are very welcome to come to the historic City Hall in Ljouwert (Hofplein 38, 8911 HJ). The Orange Room, decorated with paintings of the sovereigns of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, all descended from the Frisian princely House of Nassau-Dietz, will be used as the playing room. A limited number of visitors will be allowed in on condition that they keep quiet. Orange Room In the New Room there will be ample opportunity to discuss the various games shown on screen, and to follow the analyses which will be streamed as well. The players will also come to the New Room after finishing their games. The international players are being housed in Duhoux, a hotel- restaurant in the village of Wurdum/Wirdum (Greate Buorren 4-8, 9088 AE) just south of Ljouwert. This hotel used to be the meeting place of the Frisian Draughts Club in Wurdum, and traditionally New Room the first two rounds of the Frisian Championships were played here. Without doubt, there will be opportunities to meet the players and other mind sport players there in the evenings. Before and during the World Championships, this booklet will be available in digital form only. After the tournament, the results will be added to it and printed copies will be available on demand. During the tournament, leaflets containing the current results and standings will be available.

The Foundation’s aim is to introduce all serious players of mind sports to Frisian Draughts by 2025. The WFD Foundations aims to turn Frisian Draughts into a sport that is played internationally – by professional players, by amateurs at regional and national levels in various countries, and by anyone in the world who loves challenging strategic board games. Accordingly, we aim to develop the Frisian Draughts World Championships into a regular event. In the run-up to each World Championship, every country in which one or more versions of draughts are popular will hopefully also organise national tournaments where draughts can be played following the traditional Frisian rules (‘full board’), or following the rules of the new version FRYSK! (‘five pieces’). Another aim is the inclusion of Frisian Draughts as a permanent part of the cultural subjects package in all schools, both primary and secondary, in the province of Fryslân. A network should be developed in which schools can play against each other in annual Frisian Draughts leagues. We also aim to develop a number of tools, such as: • a comprehensive manual of the openings, midgames and endgames in several languages • a series of written courses at levels of increasing difficulty, from beginners to experienced national and international players • an interactive teaching app for computer, tablet or smartphone (or similar media yet to be developed) • applications and information on the website www.frisiandraughts.com, including: {■ an up-to-date list of all players {■ an app individuals can use to learn, practise and play {■ an up-to-date list of individual and tournament results {■ announcements and management of matches {■ a ranking list of players and teams • an application enabling a game on a traditional board to be saved and archived • a website or other medium making available all the historical and contemporary details on the relationship between Frisian Draughts and other versions of draughts. Any questions or suggestions concerning these topics are very welcome at all times. During the World Championships, we will endeavour to be available for informal interviews as much as possible. Just to introduce ourselves to those whom we have not met before, here is some information about us. 3 World championship First Official Frisian Draughts World championship First Official Frisian Draughts Frisian Frisian Draughts World Championships Draughts World Championships Ljouwert / Leeuwarden, 3-10 August 2018 Ljouwert / Leeuwarden, 3-10 August 2018 Marten Walinga holds the chair of the WFD Foundation. He has been the driving force thus far behind all WFD tournaments and other activities. For many International Draughts players, their first experience of Frisian Draughts was a meeting with Marten Walinga. His availability for press and other contacts will be limited because this time he is one of the participants. Marten Walinga Liuwe Westra is secretary of the WFD Foundation. He has been connected with the WFD tournaments and activities since the beginning. In addition, he holds the chair of the Frisian Draughts Federation. Liuwe Westra Herbert Tulleken recently joined the board of the WFD Foundation in the capacity of treasurer. He began his mind sport career with International Draughts but soon switched to chess. Nowadays, he combines playing chess with Frisian Draughts. Finally, the organisation would be very grateful if you would like to make a donation to help us to work towards our aims.

It is similar to Spanish Draughts with one significant difference, viz. the obligation of capture by a king if both a king and a piece can make a capture. The game was brought to the Czech territories probably by the Habsburgs in the seventeenth century.

  • Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State
    Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State By Neil Grant Landers A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Committee in charge: Professor Debarati Sanyal, Co-Chair Professor Soraya Tlatli, Co-Chair Professor Karl Britto Professor Stefania Pandolfo Fall 2013 1 Abstract of the Dissertation Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State by Neil Grant Landers Doctor of Philosophy in French Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Debarati Sanyal, Co-Chair Professor Soraya Tlatli, Co-Chair Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State addresses the way the Algerian civil war has been portrayed in 1990s novelistic literature. In the words of one literary critic, "The Algerian war has been, in a sense, one big murder mystery."1 This may be true, but literary accounts portray the "mystery" of the civil war—and propose to solve it—in sharply divergent ways. The primary aim of this study is to examine how three of the most celebrated 1990s novels depict—organize, analyze, interpret, and "solve"—the civil war. I analyze and interpret these novels—by Assia Djebar, Yasmina Khadra, and Boualem Sansal—through a deep contextualization, both in terms of Algerian history and in the novels' contemporary setting. This is particularly important in this case, since the civil war is so contested, and is poorly understood. Using the novels' thematic content as a cue for deeper understanding, I engage through them and with them a number of elements crucial to understanding the civil war: Algeria's troubled nationalist legacy; its stagnant one-party regime; a fear, distrust, and poor understanding of the Islamist movement and the insurgency that erupted in 1992; and the unending, horrifically bloody violence that piled on throughout the 1990s.

Sin embargo, ¿cómo son los modelos de negocio en eSports? ¿Y cuál es el rol de ESL en el desarrollo de CS:GO? Esta tesis analiza el modelo de negocio del organizador de torneos ESL mediante la herramienta Business Model Canvas (BMC). El énfasis está en cuatro importantes building blocks: propuesta de valor (value proposition, VP), segmentos de clientes (customer segments, CS), socios clave (key partners, KP) y flujos de ingresos (revenue streams, R$). La autora explora los stakeholders de los eSports, y describe fuentes secundarias, literatura académica y cifras específicas de eSports orientadas al crecimiento y desarrollo de la industria. Los resultados indican que ESL tiene un papel como mediador en la industria, y además se encarga de hacer alianzas estratégicas con stakeholders de los eSports. Además se evidencia que ESL está trabajando por la estabilidad a largo plazo del modelo de negocio of CS:GO. Gracias a las ligas y torneos, CS:GO tiene una presencia activa en todo el mundo.

  • Rules of Draughts (Checkers)
    Rules of Draughts (Checkers) Draughts is a board game of skill played between two players who, following a fixed set of rules, attempt to win the game by either removing all of their opponent’s playing pieces from the draughts board, or by rendering their opponent’s pieces immobile. WCDF Rules of Draughts Preface: The following rules of draughts cannot cover every possible situation that may arise during the course of a game, nor can they regulate for all administrative questions. Where instances arise that are not precisely regulated for by the following rules of draughts, it should be possible for the tournament controller/ referee to reach a correct and fair decision by reflecting on analogous situations, and through the use of absolute objectivity. We believe that the rules should not be over prescriptive so as to deprive a tournament controller / referee of their freedom to make a judgement based on fairness, logic and unforeseen special factors. Section One: Equipment and Rules for Play. THE DRAUGHTBOARD AND ITS ARRANGEMENT 1.1 The draughtboard is composed of 64 squares, alternately light and dark arranged in a square array of 8 rows and 8 columns and bounded by a neutral border. 1.2 The official draughtboard for use in all major events shall be of Green and White (or off white/cream) colours for the dark and light squares. 1.3 The size of squares of the draughts boards should be between 4.5 and 5 centimetres. 1.4 At the commencement of play the draughtboard is placed between the players in such a way that a green square is to be found on the player’s near left side, and a white square to their right side.
