Konu: Idea!!!
Sphere Froglet gave me a good idea, or at least I think it is. Endless checkers, wich connects the top to the bottom. every time a player reaches the top, he (or she) can send that piece back on the next turn, receiving one point. The game can end in two ways, which are 1: somebody lost all pieces, and 2: Tie's are possible when someone cannot move. The "winner" is the one who has the most points (most pieces reached the end and returned). some variatons could include that the sides are connected too, or give the player who caught all opposing pieces a little point bonus. Do you like the idea? or do you just think:"Shut Up"?

Konu: Sites to play i real time (direct on line)
The sites which make it possible to save the games are rare.
However that is quite useful to be able to analyze the games later.
I know Yahoo and Kurnik.
Kurnik makes it possible to save the games but
there are few players for this game on this site.
Yahoo always has many players but it does not make it possible to save the games.
Do you know other sites which make it possible to play checkers and to save the games?

I played two practice games (face to face)with Amangul Durdyeva when she was fifteen,at the time she was not familiar with book play but the speed and depth at which she analysed positions was frightening.If she maintains an interest in checkers she will surely be world champion in the not too distant future.

Konu: Women's World 3-Move Championship
Jan Mortimer of New Zealand was the challenger vs. current title holder, Patrica Breen of Ireland. Jan Mortimer won the first game but Patricia came right back with a win in the 2nd game, it never trailed after. The final score was 6 wins for Patricia Breen, 1 win for Jan Mortimer and 8 draws.

Patrica Breen withstands the challenge is still the Womens 3-Move World Champion and in my opinion has reached grandmaster status, even compared with the men.

Jan Mortimer had just played in the Women's World GAYP Championship tournament a week earlier, which could have affected her endurance.

17 year-old Amangul Durdyeva of Turkey, current Women's GAYP World Champion, should now have the rights to challenge Patrica Breen for the 3-Move title.

Konu: 7x7 Checkers Rules
Rules for 7x7 Checkers:

Played on a 7x7 board.

Black plays first.

Same rules as English Checkers.

Played with Checkers board notation. Square #1 is on 1st row of Black's side, 2nd square from the right.

So there is 3 pieces on 1st row of both players, 4 pieces on 2nd row. 14 pieces total, 7 for each side.

24 playable squares.

The Variation defeats the chance of someone using software to aid their games...unless someone starts making one now.

The game will take more perfect moves to draw. So mistakes are less tolerable.

I've been wanting a place to play this variation and Fencer told me to post the rules here :)

His smother game was so many moves ahead it was uncanny..and I moved real fast which seldom works against a good player. I know of the Ulevator guy you're talking about..he is working real hard at dominating the site. I never played him but his record looks pretty imposing for someone who came out of nowhere. (whatever the reason) but he is playing ustica so we'll see how he does there. He won't beat ustica..take that to the bank!

Konu: Prague World Qualifyer
Round 1 and 2 have been completed. I don't see Milan "Goldarrow" Sip's name under the Qualifying Tournament. I suppose he is just attending the Czech Checkers Championship later in the week.

Igor "sobek" Keder faced English Master, Rawle Allicock in the first round and lost one and drew the other. In Round 2 he faced fellow Czech player Jaroslav Tichy and split the two games.

Qaulifying Tournament Standings after 2 rounds:

1. Mustafa Durdyev, Turkey - 7 Points
2. Michael Holmes, USA - 6 Points
3. Jim Morrison, USA - 6 Points
4. Rawle Allicock, England - 5 Points
5. Richard Beckwith, USA - 5 Points
6. Dave Harwood, England - 5 points
7. Bagtyar Durdyev, Turkey - 5 Points
8. Thomas Canning, Ireland - 4 Points
9. Ingo Zachos, New Zealand - 4 Points
10. Igor "sobek" Keder, Czech Rep. - 3 points
11. Dennis Pawlek, Germany - 2 Points
12. Thomas Novotny, Czech Rep. - 2 Points
13. Jaroslav Tichy, Czech Rep. - 2 Points
14. Sun Thrane, Denmark - 0 Points

Jan Mortimer of New Zealand and Amangul Durdyev of Turkey are tied for 1st place in the Womens Championship with 8 points.

Lukas Valenta of Czech Rep. is leading the Youth Championship with 7 points. He defeated the favorite, Basham Durdyev both games in round 1 with dramatic fashion.

Round 3 update: Mustafa Durdyev of Turkey drew both games with Jim Morrison of USA in round 3. So If Mustafa can put up a good score against Richard Beckwith of USA there might be no catching him.

Konu: Re:
Salkkuman: There doesn't seem to be an official set of checker rules - like there is for chess. Some rulesets seem to have a '40 move' rule, which says that if one players <em>appears</em> to have an advantage, his opponent can ask for a judgement. If the player having the advantage can't convince the referee that he can make progress in the next 40 moves, the game is a draw.

Personally, I'd say that on BK any non-dice game a result (usually a draw) should be declared if a position repeats itself twice. Games that can have positions that repeat themselves include most (excluding Dark chess) chess and checkers variants, Alquerque, Jarmo, Jungle, Tablut, Tank Battle, Halma, Hasami Shogi, and Espionage (although in Espionage, positions should only be equal if exactly the same pieces are on the same fields, not just pieces of the same rank, because of the opponents not knowing the rank of all the pieces).

This however may not be easily programmed.

Salkkuman: I know on IYT you had to contact the the owner to get a draw declared but then they put in the software that drew the game after 6 repetitive moves by both players. That may have changed. Goldtoken you still have to contact the site owner but she will act. Here I don't know. Each site does it's own thing regardless of the rules.
