Rudnitsky v. International Checkers Association

2026–2026 · international draughts

A draughts organizer won an antitrust judgment on September 15, 2026 on unanswered admissions.

The story

A player won summary judgment on September 15, 2026 after the checkers association failed to answer requests for admission.

Why it matters

Players who need a sanctioned ranking are the people an association can shut out. The court entered judgment for the player.

What was claimed

The admissions established exclusive control of rankings and exclusion of a rival organizer.

The other side

The association did not answer requests for admission. Those admissions established the facts, and the player won summary judgment on September 15, 2026.

What it means for you

The judgment is finished. It is about control of international draughts rankings, not a fine against a commercial company.

Bottom line

Rudnitsky is a completed plaintiff judgment.
