Draughts World Championship

{{Short description|World championship in international draughts}}

The Draughts World Championship is the world championship in international draughts and is held every two years. In the even year following the tournament, the World Title match takes place.{{cite web |url=https://www.fmjd.org/downloads/FMJD_Annexes_2024_8-sig.pdf |title=FMJD Annexes. Annex 17: Individual FMJD Competitions - The World Championship "FMJD - World Draughts Federation" |date=21 August 2024 |publisher=World Draughts Federation |page=119 |access-date=2024-09-09 |ref={{sfnref|Annex 17|2024}} }} The men's championship began in 1885 in France and since 1948 has been organised by the World Draughts Federation (FMJD). The men's championship has had winners from the Netherlands, Canada, the Soviet Union, Senegal, Latvia, Russia and Ukraine.

The current men's champion is Jan Groenendijk.

Since 1998, there is also a Draughts World Championship held with the blitz time control (5 minutes plus an increment of 5 seconds per move), and since 2014 also with the rapid time control (15 min + 5 sec per move).

World title match

The championship is held every two years, in the odd years. The world title match takes place in the even year following the world championship tournament. The former champion and the new champion qualify for the world title match. If the former champion retains his title in the World Championship tournament, the runner-up earns the right to challenge him.{{sfn|Annex 17|2024|p=121}}

Unofficial champions (which are not listed here) were awarded retroactively; the first champion being Anatole Dussaut in 1885. A full list of winners can be found here.
