It´s draughts Jim, but not as we knew it.

The great mind of Christian Freeling can already be enjoyed here by those playing Grand Chess. But also for the draughts or checker player he has a couple of particularly beautiful gems up his sleeve. And Dameo in his own words is, well, in his own words:
"I consider Dameo to be the most modern and the most rewarding of all draughts variants, because of its use of linear movement, and the additional grounds pointed out in Draughts Dissected."

Here´s the essentials for all those who want to know what´s so special about linear movement, and who want to find out why Dameo is the superlative of Gothic Checkers:

- Savoury sample game: http://mindsports.net/Arena/Dameo/Games/Examples/FreelingvdKrol.html

On Christian´s Mindsports.net site you can already play this game online, but it isn´t quite the same as the BrainKing experience :)

ps. The semi-ancestor of Dameo, Bushka, will be dealt with in a separate forum.
