2012 (IMAS) “The 2nd World Mind Sports Games”
to be held August 9^th through August 23^rd 2012 in Lille, France

Forza Italia! Michele Borghetti took home the gold and Sergio Scarpetta took the silver at the World Qualifying Tournament, beating out a very strong field. That means that Michele will again challenge Alex Moiseyev for the 3-Move World Championship-- and this time he'll be out for blood! WMSG-Checkers (Men) Medals - Gold: Michele Borghetti (ITA) Silver: Sergio Scarpetta (ITA) Bronce: Bashim Durdyev (TKM)

In the Women's Tournament, which this year determines the champion rather than challenger, Nadiya Chyzhevska of Ukraine clinched first place with a last-round win over Erika Rosso of Italy. Congratulations, Nadiya! WMSG-Checkers (Women) Medals - GOLD: Nadiya Chyzevska (Ukraine) SILVER: Amangul Berdiyeva (Turkmenistan) BRONCE: Erika Rosso (Italy)
