Fencer: If you start with standard chess colors, then white moves first. But in most checkers literature, the first side is called Black or (officially) Red.

We are assembling the very best players on BK to form the top checker team. While we like anyone to join the fellowship, chat about checkers and learn the game the team itself is to consist of highly skilled players. Apply if interested. Thank you.

Kurnik (http://www.kurnik.org/intl/en/checkers/) is also popular among blitz players and teenagers, as is Yahoo (http://games.yahoo.com).

socrates: please, it is new rating, from tournaments only from 2000. Rating is statistic method, more games, better ratings. example ACF has rating 20 Years and it is not absolutly correct for all players. (same different will be everytime). We need more games, more tournaments. Will be more accuratelly, more and more :-))

Its a subject that rears its ugly head all to often but can never be 100% prooved. So any doubts, people should not play opponents who they think are cheating.

The proper ratings are available for viewing all though not quite finished yet of proper players who play year in and year out in tournaments face to face.

Quite some time ago I gave my opinion as to who was the very best checker player on Brainking..based on years of experience. It was then and is now none other than Ustica. Congrats on the BKR.

Subject: Re:
ustica: Well but it´s not obvious. Jump side by side it´s like for example jump to right and left and this is allowed. By this reason the official rules says : "Within a multicapture turning 180 degrees between two captures is illegal." It´s logic because in this way all captures are ortoghonals but this norm must be included into the rules or in other case it should not be applied.
