National championship of Mongolia

[Jacques PERMAL]

So Hanco you have the choïce :

- Do you want to be a grandmaster ? If you do, you must have a good trainer : for instance, A. Presnam !!!! [img]images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Do you want to dominate all the players in blitz games ? If you do, you can train with Tuvshinbold !!! [img]images/smilies/icon_redface.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/icon_razz.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif[/img]

As I am concerned, I wish I were better than Alexander and Hanco !! [img]images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/icon_smile.gif[/img]

So, Erdenebileg is the best all-time player in Mongolia !!!!
I see That R. Manlai is a young player. Perhaps a future world champion !!!!

[A.Presman]

As you can se this players are much younger. :

8. G.Sodbayar
- 4-5th place in WC Juniors 2002
- Player WC Cadets 2000

9. M.Oyunbaatar
- Player WC Cadets 2001

With 20 point they shared 4th place...

[A.Presman]

By the way Erdenebileg is 25 or 26 years old and together with Kees Thijssen and Alexander Getmanski were youngest participants of the last WCh.

[Jacques PERMAL]

Mongolia is the country of ASASHORYU, the SUMO westler YOKOZUNA (grand champion) in Japan. He was crowned beginning of this year and won the last tournament ( BASHO).
Perhaps the mongolians young players decribed here will be soon YOKOZUNA of world draughts !!!!!

[mongolia@fmjd.org]

Our young players M.Oyunbaatar is 16 and G.Sodbayar 18 years old.

[Jacques PERMAL]

Are Mongolians happy about ASASHORYU performances ?
Thanks to Mongolia friends for response !!!

[mongolia@fmjd.org]

Thank you Jacques,

Of corse very happy for Asashoryu. He is one of the honored man in Mongolia, currently. He has "Asashoryu" foundation. The foundation organized in 1 of June, the day for children, some tournaments between children including sumo, basketball, draughts and painting. I think it shows draughts is at a high level of interesting in Mongolia. Even Asashoryu interests it.

Also, his brothers are all wrestlers. One of them is a best wrestler in National wrestling in Mongolia.

[Jacques PERMAL]

Thanks, Bata !

It is interresting for us that a big star like ASASHORYU still include our hobby in his festivites.

For foreigners, It is like RONALDO ( Soccer) had organized a big celebration in RIO including DRAUGHTS.

I usually see ASASHORYU performances in TV ( EUROSPORT). He is a good westler. And Kyokushuzan and Kyokutenho too.

[A.Presman]

Sumo's becoming one of the popular TV sport is phenomena which is also good to analyse and to apply somehow in draughts.
Will we open topic for it ?

I missed last tournament and when I look to the results :
Makuuchi Division Champion: Asashoryu
Outstanding Performance Award: Kyokushuzan
Fighting Spirit Prize: Kyokutenho

That was really the mongolian triumph.

[Jacques PERMAL]

And so, Did ASAHORYU play Draughts during this event for children ?
Have you photographies of him during this event ?

Please send them here !!!

Welcome, Bata !!

[mongolia@fmjd.org]

I am sorry. Asa did not play draughts in this event, because he was not in Mongolia in 1 June. He came in 3 June from Japan. Only his foundation organized this event, choosing draughts (in only 4 competitions). There was his brother, the vice-president of the foundation Mr. Dorlgorsuren Sumiyabazar. I can send you some interesting photos, but by which e-mail address?

Asa became one of 2003 Asian heroes from Time magazine. You can see about it from the address http://www.time.com/time/asia/2003/heroes/toc.html.

Bata

Tuvshinbold is an exceptionally nice person.

he gives the other losers the chance to win
all these championships.
Tuvshinbold must be an Angel.
