• "Соревнования прошли на очень высоком уровне, был прекрасно организован досуг, проживали в гостиннице, прямо на берегу океана. Хотелось бы пожелать успехов организаторам турнира."
  "Турнир был прекрасно организован. Понравились и уровень организации, и место, и погода. Возможно также, что турнир станет ежегодным."

• "I want to thank you for the invitation and the good treatment during the competition. I have recommended the Surinamese draughts association to send each year 2 to 3 players to your high qualified Open Tournament...
  It is amazing that you were able to organize such a good tournament with so little manpower...
  I also liked very much the social programme that you have attached to the tournament.
  Thank you once again, and we will look forward to next invitations"
