Isn't Nomad co-moderator, anymore? I hope is everything allright with him!
Anyway... I'm still available to be co-mod in this board. As it looks that a lot of people agrees with that...

B L I T Z M E: Unfortunatelly, I only know Moseyev. And some portuguese players, but they play Portuguese (Spanish? Classic?) Checkers. Anyway, I believe that, in general, it's difficult to compare players from different centuries / decades. And, usually, youngsters are better than the eldest, because they have all the background that was builded for the others!

Purple: I would be honoured... if everybody agrees with that!

Purple: You're doing a great job, my good friend!

Stardust: I agree with you. Purple doesn't... ;)

Stardust: Oups... that's not a Checker's deal... Purple will not like it! ;)

Purple: Ok, thank you for the explanation, my good friend!

Hey, this is not about checkers, but it's about this board. Can any of our moderators explain me how can someone be moderator of this board? I think it would be nice if we could vote for our moderators... Of course, Purple is a very active moderator, but I think Ustica or nomad aren't so useful, like moderators. Maybe we could vote for another checker player to moderate this board. What do you think about it?

Andre Faria: Indeed! I've seen a few games of some of the best checkers players here (purple, ustica, pinchitos...) and they used that technic in their games! I still don't know exactly how it works, besides I've readen carefully undertaker's article!

Does anybody needs me to translate it? It would be a pleasure! ;)

Purple: link it!

"Have Fun": Eheh... I remember that. It needs pacience, but it's possible! Gothik checkers have much more possibilities than any other variants, so it's always hard to say it is a draw. I think it is only a draw in a 1-1 situation.Well, there are another possibility, in a 2-2 situation, but it's not fair to tell you wich, since the game is not finished yet. ;)

Purple: That's right... in IYT, they had the rule (a fair rule, indeed) of the same board for the 3rd move, gives a draw. We could suggest it to Fencer!

Andre Faria: It happenned to me too, and Fencer have done the same. I think it depends on the knowledge of Fencer about the game. For players who really know, for example, anti-checkers game, it's easy to know when it is a draw. To people who doesn't know so much the game, they might think it is not a draw. I'm thinking in a 4-2 situation, that it's clearly a draw, if the 2 pieces are together (and the defender s a good player)...

Andre Faria: We both know 3 of them... I don't know if you can recognize them, Andre! You haven't been so many years in IYT as I've been, but I'm sure you've already played against them!

Purple: Yes, GST are still there. And here...

!Undertaker!: It is great! Congrats, Undertaker! I believe Fencer will accept it, I see no reasons to forget this variant.

Andre Faria: Oh, but I've no doubts about that...!

Andre Faria: Eheheh, I believe we'll be silenced... Well, I'll find you "out there"... eheheh

!Undertaker!: I don't know, but maybe you'll find some answers here. A lot of people knows a lot about "programs" here...

Checkers 4 fast
Any fast players here?

Checkers 1800+, 4 fast players
For really fast players, something like a "live tournament".

Chekers Ratings - Something is changing!

Purple: May I make some advertisement to my fellowship too? Or it's a privilege of the moderator, only?

Bruno Jesus: Take care with your considerations... they use to ban people that makes questions/considerations or other types of thaughts... as I said before, Mr. Purple is not an European, and we must forgive him... USA has less than 300 years, europe more than 3000 years of civilization...

Bruno Jesus: You are used to Euopean democracys...Mr. Purple is not european, Bruno!

Andre Faria: I would love it too...! Excelent choice!

Purple: If those stories are true, it will be a plaisure to be banned... I don't want to belong to something like it...

Did someone get hurted with my "erased words"?
I'm just looking for some answers!
I want to know if some "stories" I've been heard are true or false. It looks like they are true!

gooner: And how about some "km" members? What does it means, that km that a lot of players use?

gooner: Oh, I see! What's your opinion, do you think there are people, here, using them?

gooner: Can you tell me names? Do you know if someone had already used some?

gooner: That's exactly what I wanted to know!

Purple: I've heard about a program to checkers. Can anyone told me about it? It exists? Anyone used it?
