German Championship in Queen-100 (2026)

Deutsche Meisterschaft in Dame-100

Results

This is Germany's main annual international draughts tournament (100-square).

Where and when

  • City: Korbach, Germany. This city in the state of Hesse is a traditional center for German draughts players.

  • Location: The tournament is organized under the auspices of the IGDD (Interessengemeinschaft Damesport Deutschland) — the German Draughts Federation.

  • Dates: February 11 — February 14, 2026.

Regulations and format

The tournament is held according to the high standards of the FMJD, which allows players to increase their international rating:

  • Time control: Classic (1 hour 20 minutes + 1 minute for each move made).

  • System: Swiss system, 7 rounds.

  • Referee: Jan Zioltkowski (international experienced referee).

Participants and warehouse

Currently, there are 9 players on the roster. The lineup is very specific:

  • Favorites: Among the participants there are 4 candidates for FMJD master (CMF). This is a strong level, although there are no grandmasters (GMI) yet.

  • Geography: Representatives from 3 federations participate. In addition to Germans, they are often joined by players with licenses from other countries living in Germany.

  • Average rating: 2024 (quite serious amateur and semi-professional level).

History and Context

Germany is not a world leader in draughts (like the Netherlands or Ukraine), so their championship is often held in a private atmosphere.

  • Korbach became the de facto "capital" of German draughts thanks to the activity of the local club and Jan Ziolkowski.

  • The tournament is a qualifying tournament: the winner gets the right to represent Germany at the European and World Championships.

The Era of Silicon Grandmasters: The Hybrid Evolution of Chess and Checkers The chess world of 2026 is not just an intellectual game, it is a high-tech discipline at the intersection of programming, big data, and professional sports. Today, victory at the board is forged not only by the power of thought, but also by the power of servers and the physical endurance of the body. Technological Arsenal: Tools of the Modern Craftsman Modern training is about working with "silicon gods."
