Дискуссия с президентом ФМЖД

И где мнение Петрилы?

«Cоглаcнo cтатьи 7.1 внутренниx правил FMJD-a федерация котopaя не отвечает, бyдeт paccмaтpивaтcя как положительнaя соглашение с предложением Исполнительнoгo Cоветa.»

Уверен, что большинство федераций даже не знает об этом…
Это уже пошла ГЛУПАЯ демократия.

Вопрос — КТО НАЧАЛ развал ФМЖД??
По старым журналам видно насколько мощно стояла эта организация.
Еще когда президентом был Пит Роозенбург казалось всё ок.

Кто их страрейшин расскажет правду?
Помню на ЧМ-2005 Гантварг всех ругал и говорил, что такой плохой ЧМ проходит впервые.
Какие ЧМ были раньше?
Какие на них были призовые?
Действительно ли раньше всё было хорошо?
Или может всё держалось на СССР??
ИЛИ на чём?
Что случилось?
Кто развалил стройную систему ЧМ?
Секция-64? ЕДС? Или засилие СОВЕТСКИХ?
Когда президентом становился Шовкопляс с НУЛЁМ в кармане — было видно, что это крах.
Казалось, что типа ошибка.
Но нет.
Пришёл Богатый Птицын — всё на месте.
Богатый Оттен — ещё хуже!
Кризис — или что это?

Голландская федерация поддержала инициативу ФМЖД и Российской федерации по проведению ЧМ среди жкнщин в указанном формате.

Dear all,

KNDB fully supports the FMSR and FMJD initiative for this World Championship in Ufa, Russia.

All FMJD tournaments and plans for the near future are scheduled and there is no discussion topic that can not wait for the first scheduled GA in May 2011.

The need to discuss the (twice!) cancelled World Championship in Brazil is very understandable but given the situation (no solution for the cancelled WC available after thorough search and the WC 2011 in The Netherlands on schedule) it is not worth an EGA.

KNDB fully supports the plans laid out in President Ottens message and applauds his activity and that of the FMJD boardmembers who are without exception very productive. I agree with the Belarusian federation that the role of Brazils representative in this discussion is remarkable and look forward to the GA in May 2011 where we can listen(!!!), talk and decide together.

Best regards,
Marcel Kosters on behalf of KNDB

А вот развернутое письмо Президента ФМЖД, Гарри Ван Оттена, по этой проблеме. Извините, нет времени на перевод текста.

Dear friends,

Several mails have been written after the decision of the Board of FMJD to consult you whether you agree that a World Championship for women will be held in Ufa in October. Some countries are very much in favor of such a tournament whereas others believe it can only be decided in a General Assembly. However, we have agreed in Berlin that we can also use the modern electronic media better to come to decisions.

With this letter I want to address especially those countries that are against having a World Championship next month in Ufa and I also want to answer to some remarks of the Belorussian federation.

A decision against a World Championship in Ufa is very unfortunate for various reasons. The most important being that when the tournament in Ufa is not a World Championship, there will be none. It also deprives the top women of the world to earn a decent amount of money. But the consequences may go beyond that.

I’m closely working together with people like Hein Verbruggen (director Sport Accord) and José Damiani (chairman of IMSA) towards having Sport Accord Mind Games next year. Prospects are very good that we can have such Mind Games next year September. The budget that will be available is unprecedented for draughts. The tournament should host the real top players of the world who will need to qualify through Grand Slam tournaments and I’m also working to get those organized. The total prize money for the draughts players (men and women) in the Sport Accord Mind Games is likely to be well over ?100,000.

As written, we need qualifying tournaments and a qualifying tournament in Ufa might be very welcome. As I understand, the President of the state will be present at the opening of the tournament and so will I. At that occasion I will have the opportunity to talk to him directly and secure money for such a tournament. When there is no official status from FMJD for the tournament you will understand that my chances of success are virtually zero.

It is therefore not only in the interest of the top women players that this tournament gets the official status of World Championship but in the interest of ALL draughts players, men and women.
I hope that the above convinces you to reconsider your position. We have to work in the interest of draughts as a whole, not just out of the emotions of the moment.

Further developments are that in November we have an FMJD Board Meeting in Bamako Mali. Subsequently I will visit Gambia and Senegal. Gambia is a candidate for the World Championship of 2013 and I will get the opportunity to have a personal meeting with the President of the Country. This will be a great step to secure money for the World Championship.

It is a great pity that the World Championship in Brazil did not materialize. We gave Brazil the benefit of the doubt for a long time, maybe too long, because involving other continents is important for draughts. Would it have been a European country, we would have cancelled much earlier. Of course it is your good right to blame the Board of FMJD for this and conclude that we are incompetent. If you want a special GA for this you can ask for it and when convened cast a vote against the current Board that, when supported by a majority, will have to face the conclusions.
As to the compensation for the tickets for Brazil, I have stated in Berlin that we would do our utmost that when the World Championship in Brazil could be held there should first of all be full compensation for these tickets. But Brazil did not deliver. Therefore there is no easy compensation
for the tickets. Of course a General Assembly may decide that we deprive FMJD of all money and pay it out as compensation including the money that I donated to FMJD. That was a total of ?25,000 of which ?10,000 was earmarked for the tournament in Berlin and the GA and ?4,000 for FMJD acquiring a method for learning draughts for which we now have global rights. But the money belongs to the member states and when they decide that the money on the bank account should be used for the compensation it is of course up to you.

Coming back to the Grand Slam tournaments required to acquire a place in the Sport Accord Mind Games, I will go to China in December. The Chinese are a great member and very active in organizing tournaments and in December there will be a youth tournament in Xin Tai some 4 hours by train from Beijing. Prospects also look good that China may organize a Grand Slam tournament. The tournament in December will be an excellent opportunity to talk.

I believe that after the great Brazilian disappointment there are very good prospects for draughts and I, very much helped by the other Board Members, will give it my best to fulfill the promises. However, if you believe that the Board of FMJD is incompetent and you want an extra GA to get rid of the Board, we will of course follow a democratic votes. It would be a pity because not much of the above will be realized.
Belorussia commented on the status of payments from Ukraine. We have been trying to get in touch with Mr. Yatcenko during the past weeks. We have not managed yet but should hear his part of the story first before we jump to conclusions.

I hope that the above may clarify the issue. Most important now is that you give your support for the World Championship in Ufa even when it is not the most ideal situation that we all might have wanted.

Best regards,
Harry Otten,
President FMJD

Израильтяне написали как всегда понятно и довольно лаконично.
На мой взгляд даже при сильном желании им возразить очень сложно.

Уважаемый господин президент.

Федерация шашек Израиля категорически возражает против новой формулы проведения чемпионата мира среди женщин по международным шашкам. Во-первых, об изменении системы розыгрыша чемпионского титула все сильнейшие шашистки должны знать еще перед отборочными соревнованиями. Во-вторых, совершенно недопустимо включать в чемпионат мира всего 6 человек.

Возможно, матч-турнир был бы возможен как второй этап чемпионата мира с участием 20-30 шашисток. Пожелание нашей федерации: включать представительницу Израиля в чемпионат мира по международным шашкам без отборочного этапа.

В любом случае FMJD должна разработать систему проведения чемпионатов мира, которая не менялась бы в на протяжении достаточно продолжительного периода.

С уважением,

Президент федерации шашек Израиля
Юрий Гольдштейн
