は協会としました。連盟では大きすぎる名称なので。
FMJDからJCDAへとどいたメール
100マスのドラフツ(ダム)が国際標準として多くの国に普及しているが、アングロ・アメリカン圏ではチェッカーが行われているとのこと。ローカルルールはいろいろあるそうです。
とりあえず、日本国内では、チェッカーをこの種のゲームの通称といたします。

membership of FMJD 受信トレイ 4月9日
Dear Chairman of Japan Draughts Association Establishment Committee,
Last week I received a copy of your message to Mr. Bat-Erdene, president of the Asian Draughts Confederation.
Your federation is most welcome to join FMJD and participate in the WMSG and our official FMJD tournaments.
Information about the organisation of the FMJD you can find on our website www.fmjd.org
In the attached document you find some formal information from our statutes and bye laws about membership of a new federation.
For any information about the FMJD you can contact me at my own e-mail address or the FMJD Bureau at fmjd.office@worldonline.nl
We would also be interested to know which version(s) of the game are played in Japan and are supported by your organisation.
The FMJD unites three versions of the game: the international draughts on the 100 squares board which is within the FMJD the most widespread across the world, the game on the 64 board which knows many local variants but which is played within FMJD with the Russian rules and the Brazilian rules, and the Checkers game, also on the 64 board but with much different rules of the game and especially played in the Anglo-American world.
The FMJD organises on a regular basis world championships and continental championships men and women, boys and girls juniors and cadets boys, and team world championships and continental championships.
Contactperson for the 64 section is Mr. Alexander Kandaurov and for the Checkers section Mr. John Reade.
Please feel free to contact me and/or Mr. Bat-Erdene if you want any more information,
Yours sincerely,
Frank Teer
General Secretary World Draughts Federation FMJD (Federation Mondiale du Jeu de Dames).
