The 2025 World Draughts Championship in international draughts was held from 6 to 23 June, 2025 at the Yaoundé Multipurpose Sports Complex in Yaoundé, Cameroon. It was held under the auspices of the International Draughts Federation (FMJD).[1] Forty players competed in the tournament. In the first stage, all players were divided into four groups. The best three players from each group advanced to the final. All stages were played as a round-robin tournament. The main referee was Bartosz Socha. The total prize money for the tournament was 25,000 euros.[2]

Jan Groenendijk from the Netherlands won his second title.

Rules and regulations

[edit]

The games were played with the official FMJD classical time control: 90 minutes for 45 moves, followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game plus a 30-second increment per move. FMJD regulations prohibited players from agreeing to a draw before each had completed 40 moves; doing so required the referee to award both players 0 points.

The final rankings were determined by total points. If two or more players finished with the same score, the following tiebreaks were applied:

  1. Number of wins.
  2. Results in the direct encounters between the tied players.
  3. Results obtained against opponents in order of their final ranking.

For places 1–3, tiebreaks using the Lehmann–Georgiev system (15 minutes plus a 2-second increment per move for an unlimited number of games) were played if necessary; other places were shared.[2]
