Period: April 16 – April 26, 2026

This spring, the heart of Central Asia, the ancient and eternally young Tashkent, will become the arena for one of the most important intellectual events of the year - Asian Draughts Championship 2026. This is a large-scale draughts competition that brings together the best masters of the continent to determine the champions in various disciplines.

Historical Reference

The Asian Championships are held under the auspices of the Asian Draughts Confederation (ADC), which unites more than 30 national federations. The first major continental tournaments began to develop actively in the late 1990s. Uzbekistan has repeatedly hosted prestigious draughts forums (in 2013, 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2024), which confirms the country's high status as one of the world centers for the development of this sport.

Venue and infrastructure

The competition will be held in the capital of Uzbekistan - Tashkent.

  • Location: The official venue and accommodation for the participants was the Le Grande Plaza Hotel. This is a modern hotel complex in the city center, which has all the necessary infrastructure for holding international tournaments.

  • Tourist attraction: Tashkent combines the grandeur of Silk Road architecture (such as the Kukeldash Madrasah) with modern parks and wide avenues. April is the perfect time to visit, when the city is awash in the blossoming of fruit trees and roses.

Alexander Alekhine: The Attacking Genius Who Searched for Beauty in the Darkness Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine (1892–1946) was not just the fourth world champion. He was a symbol of an era, a chess player who elevated the game to the level of a high art and lived a life as dramatic as it was brilliant. The Golden Boy, Broken by History Born in luxury, in an intelligent noble family of Moscow , young Alexander received the best education and a degree of Doctor of Law . But his real crown was always the chessboard. Already at the age of 12 he mastered an amazing skill - playing blindfolded , which was the first hint of his phenomenal memory and ability to deep concentration. This carefree path ended in 1917. The revolution that engulfed the empire turned the noble title into a mortal danger. To survive, Alekhine became a "man of the system": he worked in the criminal investigation departme...

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." Here are the main tools that professionals use: Classic engines (Stockfish 16.1/17): Work on the principle of "brute force". They are ideal for finding tactical miscalculations. They are the "judge" who gives an instant verdict to any mistake. Neural networks (AlphaZero, Leela Chess Zero): The revolution of "deep learning". Unlike conventional programs, they have "positional sense". They taught people that it is possible to sacrifice mater...
