The 2019 World Draughts Championship in international draughts was held from 15 September to 3 October, 2019, at the Hotel HP Resort in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast. The championship was played under the auspices of the International Draughts Federation (FMJD) as a round-robin tournament with twenty players. The total prize money for the tournament was 20,000 euros.[1]

The 2016 and 2018 World Champion, Roel Boomstra, did not play in the championship.

Alexander Georgiev won the title to become World Draughts Champion for the tenth time, equaling Alexei Chizhov.

Rules and regulations

The games were played with the official FMJD classical time control: 80 minutes plus a 1-minute 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.[1]
