Pedro Martínez: In fact, both moves were captures, the player did jump; so he is still within the rules as both you and I state them.

Pedro Martínez: Having re-read the rules of Russian Checkers, I just can’t see what was wrong with either of those moves. In Russian Checkers, it is not mandatory to make the longest possible jump. I also can’t see any other reason you would think those moves illegal.

(no, this does not belong in the Camelot forum, but I still thought it necessary to reply to this apparent misunderstanding)

Subject: Re: An Interesting Cam Ending
MrWCF: You said that you believe no Cam position is drawn. However, I have come across a position I believe to be drawn:

Cam (MTC vs. DarwinKoala)

In this position, if black’s one remaining piece always moves between F3 and G4, then white has no choice but to keep forming this position, to stop black winning. I can see no way for white to avoid that.
For black, making any other move seems to result in a forced win for white (and that is what happened in this game).
So I’m under the impression that with perfect play from both sides, this position will keep repeating and the game is therefore drawn. Am I wrong?
