I recently met up with Jonathan Chappell, a checkers master and longtime friend, who played in the 2023 U.S. National tournament held in Branson, Missouri, this past month. Jonathan finished tied for fifth in an incredibly strong field that featured multiple world champions and grandmasters. We analyzed some of his favorite games, and in this particular video, we go inside the mind of a master as Jonathan provides us with move-by-move details into his strategy against grandmaster and world champion Lubabalo Kondlo.
They balloted the 9-13, 22-18, 12-16 opening, a fairly weak debut for red. Jonathan, controlling the strong side, capitalized early against an aggressive 16-19 move. However, Kondlo was able to strike back in the late mid-game with a series of brilliantly played pitches, resulting in a powerful and instructive bridge ending.
Part 1: Jonathan Chappell vs. Dr. Richard Beckwith (9-13, 24-20, 11-16), red wins.
Part 2: Jonathan Chappell vs. Joe Moore (10-15, 24-19, 15x24), white wins.
Part 3: Lubabalo Kondlo vs. Jonathan Chappell (9-13, 22-18, 12-16), draw.
