The Usurper: The use of that word ("CLASSIC") may create a confusion with the very popular variant, in Portugal, Spain, all magebin countries and some latin-american countries, called "Classic checkers". BTY, this is a very interesting variant. Like International checkers or Russian Checkers are, don't you think?

Gabriel Almeida: I will alter "Classic" to "Tournament". Thanks for the heads-up.

The Usurper: Hey, it's always a pleasure when I see peope really interested in checkers. I'm very interested too! :)

Gabriel Almeida: It's an awesome game! Our goal is to eventually (soon) offer prize tournaments, the winner being awarded a Brain Rook to bestow on the (checker-playing) pawn of his/her choice. That's one of the main missions of the Checkers Aficionados fellowship.

The Usurper: Don't you think brainking should have some very imprtant checkers variants? It have some "ridiculous ones" (forgive me those who like them, but... they aren't really played nowhere), like parachute checkers, One way checkers, corner checkers... and brainking forgives some very played variants, with international federations,and popular for millions of people... I must insist in some very important like Classic, Intnational, Russian, Italian and brasilien ceckers. I play in some other games site where classic checkers is the most played game,can you imagine? And they have backgammon, american checkers, breaktrough, a lot of card games... in Portugal (where I live in), classic checkers it's the most common game, much more popular than chess or domino. Noone plays checkers unless classic or international checkers.
It's because of that that I'm leaving brainking, or playing much less here, and playing much more in another site. By the way, I'm finding a lot of "brainking checkers lovers" there. It's nice!

Gabriel Almeida: I enjoy this site for a number of reasons, but you're right, the important, real-world checkers variants ought to be included in the repertoire of games. I'd also like to see a game/tournament format with 3-move restriction. I'm 'hoping' that these updates are not far in the future.

The Usurper: Yes, that would be a great improve too!
