That's because Alex asked me not to discuss the result

I beat Kingsrow 1-0 with 19 draws, get your facts straight. That version of Kingsrow had the 2.9 trillion positions in the 9-piece database and an opening book of 800,000 moves.

How well would you do against it?

Present at the NACA tournament were two past and present Canadian champions, some mail players, and some people who started playing checkers about 20 years before I was born. While the Canadian Checker Federation was not as sizeable as the ACF, it has master members who have taken points off of ACF masters, and I took points off of them.

Say what you want. I played 32 games in 3 days, lost none, and won 18.

I played in one tournament, and, from what I saw, checkers tournaments don't have a lot going for them.

Let me hire you as the President of my company. You are now making $675 an hour.

Here are your choices.

Work Friday and half of Saturday, and earn about $8100 in straight time pay.

Or, take off Friday, earn none of the aforementioned money, travel about 600 miles to a tournament playing site to breath smoke for hours at a time, win maybe $50 - $75 in a checkers tournament, drive another 600 miles back, then listen to more buttheads like yourself say "Gee you only won 1 tournament... you couldn't win if condition X-Y-Z happened."

Now, Mr Lopez, care to disclose your checkers tournament career?
