Subject: Re:

Kili: Yes, you are right: classic checkers are THE CHECKERS. Maybe Internacional Checkers may be considered too as an "official variant"... Brainking don't have any of them. Besides all my (and others) requests.
Oh, and by the way: classic checkers are a very, very popular game in a lot of countries, not only in "Iberia". It is very popular also in all magrebins countries. That could be a very good way to Fencer to "seduce" players from Tunisia, Algeria, Morroc, and some other Islamic countries!

Subject: Re:

Gabriel Almeida: I´m not a good checker-player. My favourite variant is Turkish checkers but of course, classic checkers (spanish-portuguese) are THE CHECKERS. As you say is the most popular game in that site (a basque game server translated to basque, spanish, english and frech).

joshi tm: I agree with you. International checkers is a very different and interesting variant. Why not be added too others variants like russian and italian checkers?

BK is a great site, but when it comes to checkers, I still miss my favourite variant called International Checkers. Can this one be added?

!Atila!: I agree with you. This rule should be changed for Turkish Checkers. Maximum capture has higher priority for all pieces including queens.

Subject: Turkish Checkers

Modified by Undertaker. (15. January 2007, 17:01:10)

Can anyone explain me why there is a game with name Turkish checkers, but, in fact, his rules aren’t of Turkish checkers? Turkish checkers rules said that if there are two or more different chances to make capture, it is compulsory to make the move that captures the maximum amount of the opponent's pieces. However, in BK, turkish checkers rules said that we can chose, except for the queen. Why this difference?</font>

I am playing a game and i am in a position to force my opponent to take my remaining two pieces and leave the opponents only piece left next to my Parachute Checker , could anyone tell me if once my last two pieces are taken is it game over for me or do i get another move to take my opponents piece that has landed next to my parachute checker ?

I think i found my answer from a message further down the page ;))

What do you think about change BKR system? omega3007 won 4 games in Parachute checkers and has 2111 points. He won 3 games for time out. Their opponents were Schmeedle10 (unrated), purplehawke (1137), PegasusInAR (945) and Ronin (1545). I think we must talk with Fencer to create a just BKR system.</font>

Can it move to F2? Nope

Can it capture to G3? Nope </>

If it can capture to G3, why can't F6 capture to H8? Because it can't capture to G3

hexkid: In corner checkers you can only move towards your opponents corner. In your case you can only move forwards or jump another piece downwards towards the h1-h2 corner while furbster can only jump forwards and upwards towards the a7-a8 corner.

Subject: Parachute checkers question

In parachute checkers, does a king have to get all pieces out even if it means turning the corner? Check out this game for clarification. If I move my black king to D6, does white have to turn and get my E3 king out as well...or can he choose not to.

Thanks for the help
