Championnat du monde juniors garçons et filles de jeu de dames 2013 Junior world championship boys and girls checkers 2013 Draughts in the world Georgiev Alexander best world player on January 1st 2013 The World Draughts Federation (officially Fédération Mondiale du Jeu de Dames FMJD), www.fmjd.org). It was founded in 1947 by four federations, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. Its main purpose was to regulate the competitions during the international championships. Though world championships were proclaimed as far back as 1897 in France and the Netherlands, the increase of the number of countries and the wish to have more regular competitions gave a boost to this international organization. From its very start, the FMDJ increased, and it is now composed of nearly fifty national participating federations. La FMJD has become a member a member of SportAccord, the umbrella organization for all internationally recognized sports, and in the case of draughts- non Olympic. As such, the FMJD is part of a more general movement (the one of the FIDE (chess) and the WBF (bridge), that integrates mind sports in the area of regular sports, a development that in the vision of the FMJD is to be promoted. The competitions for the world title have been going with regularity, the succession of world champions is unbroken since the creation date. The bilateral struggle between France and the Netherlands changed into a multilateral struggle, in which Canada and the Soviet Union entered in 1956, producing champions from all over the world. In 1963 the world saw a Senegalese challenger for the title, who indeed became world champion. The Netherlands continued their bid for the highest title, and in the following decades the struggle was on between the Netherlands and the Soviet Union. After the fall of the Soviet regime, Russia continued to dominate the world championship, challenged only by the occasional success of Latvia. The FMJD has gradually widened its scope of activities: championships of women were introduced in 1973, for juniors in 1971, cadets in 1988 and girls in 1989. Team championships, called "Olympiads" started in 1967 for the senior players, and in 1987 for the juniors. Based solidly in Europe, the FMJD organized European championships since 1965. Later, the activities in the other continents became more important, and continental tournaments nowadays are held in Europe, Africa, Asia and America. For this latter system of tournaments, the FMJD has developed continental confederations, to take care of all competitions at the continent level. Recently, in Europe, the individual championships, - for seniors as well as for youth-, have been complemented by international club competitions. The joint FMJD office is in located in Orteliusstraat 147hs, 1057 AX, Amsterdam, Netherlands, with as bureau chief draughts and problematics grandmaster Johan Bastiaannet. 1
