Earlier this year "Tanya" Tetiana Zaitseva competed at the International Checker Hall of Fame for the WORLD YOUTH CHECKER CHAMPIONSHIP and WON !

December 30 and 31 Tanya Zaitseva from Ukraine has challenged Alex Holmes from Sellersburg, IN, past WORLD YOUTH CHECKER CHAMPION and a Master Checker Player for a MATCH. Alex won his title in Barbados at the 2013 World GAYP Qualifier.

This will be the last chance for Tanya and Alex because they both will pass the age for youth competition next year. 

This could prove to be one of the most... (If not the most) exciting game of the year. They will be playing GO-AS-YOU-PLEASE style checkers and it should be noted It will be... THE LAST CHECKER EVENT OF 2017 !

Charles & Deloris Walker - International Checker Hall of Fame (ICHF) in Petal, MS has graciously agreed to host this ACF sanctioned Youth World Checker Championship Match.  

We invite the public to come by and watch this exciting competition between these two youthful players as they use the power of their minds to COMPETE FOR THE YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD !
