2025 World Draughts Championship

The 2025 World Draughts Championship at the international draughts took place from June 6 to 23, 2025 in Yaounde, Cameroon[1] under the auspices FMJD. Forty players competed in the tournament. In the semi-final all players were divided into four groups. The best three players from each semi-final group went to the final. The championship was played in a round-robin system. The main referee was Bartosz Socha. The winning prize for the tournament was 20,000 euros.[2]

Jan Groenendijk from Netherlands won his second title.

Rules and regulations

The games were played in the official FMJD time rate of the Fischer system, with 90 minutes on 45 moves, then 30 minutes plus 30 sec per move. Conforming to the FMJD regulations, players were not allowed to agree on a draw before they both made 40 moves. If they did so nevertheless, the referee is obliged to decide on a 0-point for each player.

The final classification was based on the total points obtained. If two or more players had same total points to define the places, the following factors were used to define the places:

  1. largest number of victories
  2. best results between these players in direct confrontation
  3. best results obtained in order of the classification.

For the places 1 – 3, tie-breaks using the Lehmann-Georgiev system (15 minutes and 2 seconds added per move for an unlimited number of games) would be played if necessary; other places were shared.
