| | Draughts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Draughts, also known as checkers, is a group of mental sport board games between two players which involve diagonal moves of uniform pieces and mandatory captures by jumping over the enemy's pieces. | | | Pool checkers - Exactly the same rules as Brazilian checkers but when there is more than one way for a player to jump, one may choose which sequence to make, not necessarily the sequence that will result in the most amount of captures. | | | Brazilian checkers - Exactly the same rules as international draughts, but it is played on a 8×8 board. |

| | Draughts (checkers) rules in Poland |
| | The player with the lighter checkers makes the first move of the game, and the players take turns thereafter, making one move at a time. | | | Captured checkers are not removed from the board until all jumps made on the move are completed, and the hand is removed from the capturing man or king. | | | The board is positioned squarely between the players and turned so that a dark square is at each player's near left side. |

| | Checkers has its roots in the ancient game of Nine Men's Morris, a game that predates even game boards, as it was originally played by drawing on sand and dirt. | | | The name Checkers is actually an older name for the game than Draughts, but one that was adopted in America. | | | Another way to win is to block all of your opponent's pieces so that he or she has no possible moves. |

| | In Spanish checkers men move and jump forward only, but kings cross the board in one move, so this variation is, so to speak, halfway between the other two types. | | | You would be able to see the black checkers, but it makes no sense to use checkers of the same color as the squares on which they are placed. | | | The Black Checkers Are Invisible on the Black Squares. |

| | NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Chinese checkers |
| | Chinese checkers is a board game that can be played by two to six people. | | | The players take turns hopping any game pieces over other game pieces on the board; the hopped over pieces are captured (retired from the game, as in checkers) and collected in the player's bin. | | | The game does not actually originate from China (nor is it a variation on checkers or Chinese chess), but was given that name in the United States to make it sound more exotic. |

| | "There is a Certain Amount of Humor in Checkers" |
| | Master checker players spend years analyzing favorite lines of play, developing "cooks" that will throw a wrench in an opponent's position. | | | Because nearly everyone knows how to play, checkers is often viewed as a pastime for old men and children, on a par with tick-tack-toe or Go Fish. | | | Many players familiar with both games assert that it takes longer to learn to play checkers at the master level than it does chess. |

| | At the start of the game all checkers may advance toward the opposite side of the board by moving diagonally from one red square to another vacant red square. | | | The one exception is that when an uncrowned checker jumps into the king row (the opposite side of the board), it cannot jump again until the next turn. | | | When a checker reaches the opposite side of the board, the checker is crowned and becomes a king (denoted by a triangle). |

| | 11.2 Samuel's Checkers Player |
| | His checkers players are instructive case studies in addition to being of historical interest. | | | His interpretation was that this drastic intervention jarred the program out of local optima, but another possibility is that it jarred the program out of evaluation functions that were consistent but had little to do with winning or losing the game. | | | Samuel was attracted to game playing as a domain for studying machine learning because games are less complicated than problems ``taken from life" while still allowing fruitful study of how heuristic procedures and learning can be used together. |

| | Gui Checkers 1 |
| | This is based on a checkers playing program that I made in three days originally, plus 3 more days to get the first GUI version, new move generation, better search and cleaner code. | | | This is just a guess, I've seen from other games (chess, othello) that results can vary dramatically, although as the number of games played increases the rating does become more stable. | | | If there are more than one sequence of moves that leads to the same board position, (for instance, a checker can reach the same square in 2 moves by advancing left, then right, or right first, then left,) these positions will be encountered more than once in the search. |

| | The quadratic scoring for checkers encourages advance of checkers that are already far down the board, to encourage crowning of kings. | | | The computer will only consider moves to be complete in the case of multiple captures if the 'active' checker, that is, the checker that has already captured, has no further captures. | | | The proportion of bad moves to good moves in chess is much higher than in checkers. |
