The American Checker Federation

I apologize for nothing. Had Steven called for a liberal-leaning demographic to "disappear forever," his post would surely have been removed. Or are we okay with genocide now? G'day John. I'm damned if I know how you can associate my wanting right wing Christians to keep their non-politic...

The American Republican Party?

Who was running America in 2008 when all the crap hit the fan?

I for one breathed a huge sigh of relief when I heard Barack Obama won a second term. There's no way the world is ready yet for four years of a Republican mismanaged America. I hope the religious right sits up and takes notice.

And then disappears.

Forever.

The following code will let you watch a replay of a game on CheckerBoard from a PDN. It's the same as pressing the right arrow to cycle through a game. Change the '1000' in "Sleep, 1000" to a higher number if you want it to go slower (eg. 1000=1 second, 5000=5 seconds) or a smaller number ...

Here's some code that works! I got some help from the AutoHotKey.com forum. It's still a little dirty but it combines the FEN and PDN as one file that you can copy and paste from the clipboard. IfWinExist, CheckerBoard: KingsRow 1.16f WinActivate StartFEN: SendInput {Right} ; Right Arrow Sleep, 100 ...

I've mucked around with AutoHotKey and I've come up with this- IfWinExist, CheckerBoard: KingsRow 1.16f ; Checks to see if this window exists. ; IMPORTANT ; You need to change this if you are using a different engine or a different version of KingsRow WinActivate StartFEN: SendInput {Right} ; Right ...

Thanks for the CheckerBoard tips, John. I've had the program for over a year and I've only just recently discovered it can analyse games! I've done a few searches already and I can now find archived games that run the same as the game I'm searching on. It's much faster than searching text files! Unf...

Hello programmers. Is there a program that writes a checkers move as well as the associated FEN to the clipboard? If there isn't, would someone like to give it a shot? For example, something like this- 1. 11-15 W:W32,31,30,29,28,27,26,25,24,23,22,21:B15,12,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. 22-17 B:W32,31,30,29,...

Thanks for the advice, Richard. I've downloaded a couple of game collections in PDN. Is there a program out there in the ether that writes a checkers move as well as the associated FEN to the clipboard? For example, something like this- 1. 11-15 W:W32,31,30,29,28,27,26,25,24,23,22,21:B15,12,10,9,8,7...

Hi Bill. My votes in.

I just wanted to tell you I found a copy of "Slocum Strokes". What a great resource!

Thanks.

I don't know how you do it, Richard! I would like to start my own playbook but I don't know where to start. I've been doing some play on the Dundee and would like to do something with 12-16 like you have done with 9-13, 9-14 and 10-14. How do you decide what your trunk games are? Do you use a comput...

I just want to say a quick thanks to Alex for posting these games with his analysis. Also Palomino, Ingo, Liam, Sune and Tommy for their comments and contributions. These posts teach me much more than a book of dry published play.

Thanks fellas.

That one is still making me laugh!

Another thing is, checkers is obviously played at a much higher level than chess because it is less complex. Therefore, your margin for error in a checker game is a lot less than what it is in a chess game. You make an obvious losing move against a high level master player in checkers and it is jus...
