Non-participation of camerouneses players in world championship, FMJD crisis, and now delay of panamerican championship !!!!!

Life go on.

[A.Presman]

Jacques,

There are also earthquakes, terrorists, SARS and many other things which are even worse in the mean time.

Let's keep quiet.

[Jacques PERMAL]

I agree your way of looking of life, Alexander.
But we must have a more optimistic view, if we want a serious Draughts international organization.

But life must go on
