World Title Match Draughts (RD 6)

World Title Match Draughts (RD 6)…Georgiev wins the “Rapid” and the tension is  mounting..

It  isnt over yet and its getting ugly with a touch of  psychological warfare . World Champion Alexander Georgiev complained about the distracting body language of Alexander Schwarzman and referee Frank Teer has issued a warning letter. For the moment  the atmosphere has become a bit less friendly.
