2002 Moiseyev vs Lowder World Title 3-Move Championship Match  (29 Games)
This Championship Match was sanctioned by ACF for 40 games and played at the International Checker Hall of Fame "ICHF" in Petal, MS on March 11-16th.  Ron King won his 3-Move Restriction Title "TMRT" from Lafferty and defended it against challenger Alex Moiseyev in December 4-9th 2000 at Petal (3-3-18).  Moiseyev challenges King again for a re-match, but King plays hideaway and after timely negotiations and meeting his demands, ACF finally scheduled this re-match in September 2001, but it was never played... so ACF stripped King of his title and scheduled this Title Match between Moiseyev vs Lowder.  There were 17 draws, the match ending 11 games early.  Lowder played his usual aggressive fireworks style, unusual non published play to gain crossboard positions; however, Alex Moiseyev loves crossboard games and put Elbert to the sword.  Moiseyev retains his title by 12-0-17. Then finally, the most anticipated WTM of all time! King vs Moiseyev at Anderson City Hall in Anderson, SC. May 23 - June 5, 2005 with a $10,000.00 purse. Alex whips Ron (8-3-25) who forfeits the last days 4 games. They split cash $6,000 / $4,000.
