Yep, it helps sometime. I have this problem quite often (MSIE), it's quite annoying. Once I made my move in chess and some figures appeared first after I clicked on "move". :-)

Many thanks!

Cool! :-)

Excuse me, could somebody from the experts here explain, what do the numbers and abbreviations in the analysis of CheckerBoard mean? I searched in the help file and on the CB webpage, but I didn't find anything...

1.) [1st move:] book 11-15 v0 d19 9-14 v0 d18 10-15 v-2 d15 12-16 v-2 d15 11-16 v-2 d14 10-14 v-4 d15 9-13 v-10 d17
1a.) v0 d19 ?
1b.) v-2 d15 ?

2.) [11th move:] depth 19/36/19.3 time 1.92s value=-88 nodes 1472251 765kN/s db 98% pv 13-17 15x 8 4x11 29-25 17-21 28-24 11-16 24-19
2a.) depth 19/36/19.3 ?
2b.) value=-88 ?
2c.) db 98% ?
2d.) pv 13-17 ?

Hi folks, may I invite you to this tournament with all BK checkers variants?

Just me 777: I see... May I ask who is "we"? I can hardly imagine that there is more players who are dreaming about a variant without the forced capture. (Btw, would you like to have "huffing" in your variant? :-))

Just me 777: 1. If I'm not wrong, there is a forced jump in Canadian Checkers, the rules are similar to International (Polish, French) Checkers, only the board has 144 squares.
2. Even small childern play checkers with sort of forced jump ("huffing").
3. Please stop arguing, it's going silly. :-)

Exactly. That is what I know. The three time repeated position is (unfortunatelly only) a chess rule...

I thougt the rule, that after a position is three time repeated, the game is a draw, is only in chess. At least I can't find it in "Rules of Play and Laws for Standard American Checkers" by ACF. (I mean, I'm glad to hear it!)

Btw, note that we can switch in the settings the colors for checkers, so that we start the game with the black men. :-)

Nope, I'm bothering Fencer with the Checkers graphics since two weeks (I know that this is a thema here since two years :-)) and he promised to change the graphics this weekend or at least in near future. We'll see...
