About Course

CHECKERS. It is considered simple. However, only the rules are simple, while the game itself is incredibly complex and demanding. With this course, I want to give back to checkers for how much it has provided me in life. My mission is to make checkers, the passion of my life, widely recognized and popular. It deserves it.

Thanks to playing checkers, since childhood, I have developed my:

  • memory,
  • imagination,
  • concentration,
  • logical reasoning,
  • decision-making.

Starting from a young age in checkers tournaments, I:

  • met many friends,
  • gained confidence,
  • learned to deal with defeats,
  • learned how to cope with stress and time pressure.

Since I started representing my country on the international stage as an 11-year-old, I:

  • have visited over 20 countries,
  • learned languages,
  • experienced different cultures,
  • made friends all over the world,
  • stood out from others,
  • got accepted to every school and job I applied for.

Based on my experience – it’s definitely worth playing checkers. And you can utilize my many years of experience as a player and coach in this course. Studies show that solving crossword puzzles reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 40%. And playing checkers? 80-year-old players can recall their entire games from memory and analyze multi-move variants without moving the pieces on the board. Checkers, as a mind sport, can be played throughout your entire life – from the youngest to the older age. Checkers offers a diverse and comprehensive workout for your brain, which will help you develop and maintain its fitness.
