I have it set up on a checkerboard without benefit of program and am trying to work my way through it with my naked eyes. This is tough but I'm seeing it. I think. Good problem, thanks.

My wetv gets the link as a larger than screen board that you have to scroll to see position. Was it black to move? I will start at the beginning and see what I'm doing wrong.

Congrats. Some 11 yr olds are tough. Do you remember Bobby Fisher beating Big Blue (IBM) in chess a few decades back? This is the same thing. Man over machine. Quite an accomplishment.

Re' your message about someone beating a Chinook computer program, I'm not into computer programs of any type for any reason, but I just forced a draw with an 11 year old middle school student from Crankhandle, Montana. Is that good enough for some comment ?

Subject: Re: Draw by Repetition
Yes!! Give the game number to Fencer and he will declare a draw. You must offer your opponent a draw first. It is not automatic however.

Does anybody know if there is a draw by repetition in checkers? I have a position that has now been repeated six times.

Subject: Ladder Update
As there does not appear to be much interest in a Ladder here I did not make that phone call to Mac Banks. If, in the future, people want to revive the idea we can always try again. Thanks.

CaoZ of the Killing machine has just posted two amazing wins over the Chinook Computor Program. This is NOT easy. Try it yourself. LOL. Congrats CaoZ. If anyone else does this feel free to post it here and, if possible, a list of the moves you made.

That would be great, I'm only familiar with it from the links you've sent me but I think it would be a fantastic way for this site to get some recognition. Super idea!

Subject: A Ladder?
I just recieved an e-mail from Mac Banks who just got back from Las Vegas offering to lend us his expertise in setting up a Ladder. For those of you who know checkers it would be like Bill Gates offering help in setting up a company. He left me his phone number to call. The purpose would be to provide a challenge for our elite checker players (or those who aspire to be) to gain recognition other than with the BKR. It would be open to established players Brainknight and up. Unless the whole idea has too many flaws and needs to be aborted early my plan is to finalize the entire package and then present it to Fencer for a thumbs up or thumbs down. Is there any interest in this? Ed also has fairly extensive knowledge of Ladder play so his insights would be welcome.

Chinook has a webpage where their computer checker program offers games against the public. They have it set for 3 levels of difficulty. It is EXTREMELY hard to beat. The URL to play it is on this DB several posts back but I will look it up and post it here again. Chinook was one of the original checker programs and has a perfect 8 piece endgame database knowledge. I played it nearly 100 times to get 2 wins and about 8 or 9 draws.

Anyone who has played and beaten the Chinook computer has to be distressed that the Wall of Honor hasn't been updated in over 18 months. So many of us are still waiting for our plaques. Does this keep you up at nights? LOL. Still it's irksome.

Subject: Re: Board and Pieces
As the number of checker players on the site increases Fencer may move the "checker graphics" higher up on his "to do" list. A certain number of reminders never hurts but too many and it becomes annoying nagging. We are trying to hit the correct balance. :o)
