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!
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).
coan.net: In this site you'll see also that spanish checkers,or portuguese checkers, or classic checkers (as you want to call them) is the most popular game there!
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?
I've tried a few games of Hawaiian Checkers. Since I live in Hawaii, I thought I ought to give it a try, but I stink at it! Can someone give me some pointers, hlep me in some practice games, or something?
Brian1971: The right place for you to post it is in DAMA, my friend. Unless you have some reason to avoid that DB... and if you have it, I would like to know it! ;)

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 ?
edit 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>
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.

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.
Gabriel Almeida: OK i went into your game link, now all i can get is all different langages.I speak only English.I am not empressed with this.I would like to no how you did this.
This game is tied, but this guy does not accept my draw offers. And he cannot even speak english. Before I lose my temper and start insulting him, can anybody call this guy to reason?
