Posting is very welcome. I was thinking of Jim Loys pages and the links from there. All contributions welcome and if you can make the links clickable so much the better.

Subject: Checker's book ?
Hello,
Anybody can indicate me the references of a good book which describes tactics and strategies of Checkers? And a link to command it by way of Internet?

Actually I find the pawns and chess kings to be a refreshing change. Although I do often find myself at the end saying "Check Mate" rather than "GG".

Three move would be cool but the top priority I find from talking to checker players here is the implementation of checker pieces to replace the present chess pieces.

Point taken (Gulp). No more booze and wild women. But what about after the tournament? lol. Win or lose I'll need consolation.

Yes, that's early favorite! However, to win you must continue to concentrate. No booze or wild women. I'm afraid that hurts your chances after the first game, or first opening moves maybe.

You mean we have less than 2 weeks to plan the social event of the year??? OMG Where to start? hmmm ok,I'll make the cake.
Oh,and so as not to be off topic,I'm going to decorate it with checker pieces and the frosting will be red and black and there won't be any chess pieces on it and the winner of the tournament gets to jump out of it! yeah!! that's it! How's that for staying on topic on the checker board? ;-) LOL

I've forgotten when this tournament starts. The highly skilled Usurper KM reads Derek Oldbury and I'm on chapter two of "The Beginner's Guide to Checkers"? Will I have time to finish it before the tournament begins?

Derek Oldbury still has the perfect formula for those who want to become unbeatable at this complex game and it is to be highly recommended to the unstable and weak of heart. I quote: "Do not play. Then you can't lose."

We now have all 20 players signed up and with the addition of David Upshaw we have 8 players rated 2000 or better. If checkers is your game you should follow the action in the prestigious tournament.

LOL. You are all a funny bunch of checker players!

The fool-proof plan when playing top-notch opponent is to resign after 3 moves with this message: "No point in continuing here. I see you've got me in 33 moves. Masterful job." This works with chess too.

Oh, Wyllie may not have been so great! I, also, have given an opponent 13 men while I played with 10. I was winning every one of our games, too. Then her mommy came to take her home for her nap.

No they get 10 and you will get an extra man (13) and a draw will count as a win or you. LOL. James Wyllie use to give his opponents that kind of advantage in the 19th century and he STILL WON.

Chief KM, just checking to see if I understood you correctly. Before I joined the tournament you did say all those over 2000 had to play with 11 checker pieces, uh, excuse me, pawns, right? :o)

Ronzoil just joined the tournament today. That makes SEVEN over 2000. Gulp.

Gothic Chess Pro said he was concentrating on the World Chess Championship so would not be able to participate in the tournament. But we still have MANY of the top players and there will be more to come.

There are 10 people signed up and we are reserving 3 spots for folks who are finishing their present tournaments. Also 3 invites have been sent with no reply yet so that still leaves 4 open seats. This may be your one chance to play the best checker players on BK so let me know if you are interested.
