I love all games!

Ronald King loves games: checkers, international draughts, chess, table tennis, running marathons and the list goes on. Basically the four-times Sportsman of the Year from Barbados loves to compete.

He is participating in the international 10×10 tournament and the three-moves checkers at the WMSG in Beijing. The former world champion claims he is going to win this checkers event. After that he will be participating in the Irish Open three-moves checkers tournament.

King, known as Suky by his friends, won the Go-as-you-please checkers world title 18 times and is still the current world champion. Not only does he play checkers, but puts a lot of effort in promoting the sport also. The government employs him to teach draughts at the University, twenty schools and he runs his own school.

While playing different kinds of mind sports, he is the one to ask what is more difficult: chess or draughts? His strong answer is: “We play on the same board, that is like living in the same house. Why should someone say he is better? We should not fight about that. It is a different game. I love all games!”
