Subject: Live 10x10 draughts

as you all know and have been looking forward to with such anticipation: The Dutch Championship has just kicked off!
And what's more: the games can be followed live: http://www.livedraughts.com/NK2008/LiveGames1x4_1x3.htm
a service provided by http://www.livedraughts.com/ (a good one to bookmark:)
for reviews of past rounds see: http://www.dcdordrecht.nl./ and click on "Animatie en analyse" then "Kampioenschap van Nederland" and on 1-13 to go to the desired round... (of course comments there will be in Dutch, but the notation is universal :)

Tiny note: the electronic boards do sometimes have difficulty "seeing" the pieces on the board, a bug which may confuse but is usually resolved one move later. Enjoy!

vic: Thanks Vic. It's very interesting to know we can see the Dutch Championship to the life. For me it's an important innovation and can be helpful to players in some countries like Portugal. In my country there're classic (portuguese) checkers and international checkers, but there is only one international checkers tournament for year. Many few players play this game and with innovations like that, maybe this situation can change. I'm going put those links in some portuguese checkers blogs.

Like you said, the important is the notation :)
