Dear Sharon,

I want to arrange a brief appearance for Mayor Bill Knight at our upcoming 11-Man World Title Match Tournament. Maybe he could drop by Friday morning, May 27, 2011 and welcome Mr. Laverty and Mr. Moiseyev. We will be in the meeting room for opening ceremonies at 9:00 am at the Libby Hill Seafood Restaurant, 3011 Randleman Road, Greensboro, NC 27406 (336)-275-7688.

We were fortunate to get the bid for the 11- Man World Title Match in Greensboro, over the Memorial weekend. May 27th thru May 30th.

This 4 day 11-Man World Title Match is between Master, Tim Laverty of Graham and Grand-Master, Alex Moiseyev of Dublin, OH.

Alex holds both the World 3-Move and 11-Man World Titles.

This 4 day 11-Man World Title Match is the results of Laverty finishing as runner up in the recent 11-Man National held here in Greensboro, February 10th thru 13th. Moiseyev won the National but Laverty was guaranteed a shot at the 11-Man World Title.

This is an American Checker Federation and North Carolina Checker Association (NCCA) sanctioned tournament.

I have included some links so you can read more about North Carolina Checkers. Its the same checkers you played as a child but on a professional level. Checker rules and moves are simple but the game on this level requires concentration and visualization. The depth of possibilities and consequences are equal to chess.

Here is our NC Checker website www.nccheckers.org and particularly the webpage to this event http://www.nccheckers.org/NCCA/2011%20NC%20Ty%20Announce.htm

I'm the NCCA Secretary and maintain the website. 336-209-5656 or 336-288-6620 jrsmithnccheckers@gmail.com
