THE WORLD Mind Sports Games continued in Beijing, China, last week. Currently, host China leads the medal count, having won five gold, four silver and four bronze medals. Korea is in second place, and Russia is in sixth place. Mongolian has competed respectably in droughts competitions, as well as Chinese chess and brig cards.
Draughts
After starting well, R.Manlai played poorly in the second stage, finishing his match with nine points. In his seventh round, Grand Master D.Erdenebileg could not break into the final sixteen, suffering defeat at the hands of Ainur Sheibakov, the 2005 draughts world champion. Erdenebileg did, however, lead Mongolian athletes in scoring. Edvard Bouzinsky was selected eighth place in the A group, competing over fifty other draughts players.
In the female rounds, E.Mandakhnaran, suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the eighth  stage, just missing an opportunity to advance to the round of 16. E.Ariunzaya finished her match with 9 points. Laura Ratneis from Latvia reached the last 16 by scoring 10 points. Mongolian athletes will compete in 64-move droughts later this week.

They competed in mixed chess and had three victories, three defeats and two draws.
