North Carolina 20 Best Moves?

Does anyone know who compiled the "20 Best Published Play moves" posted on the North Carolina Checker Association website, and approximately when? It has all 156 ballots, so clearly it's later than 2003. https://www.nccheckers.org/NCCA/20%20Best%201st%20Moves.htm Thanks for any information...

Re: King Me : Documentary Movie

Is there anywhere this movie can be seen nowadays?

I will be posting two more books (Ketchum's Handy Manual and Hill's Synopsis) as soon as Internet Archive allows logging in again.

Hackers on root page

The forum itself seems unaffected, but someone should probably check the root page playground.usacheckers.com,
which has been vandalized by hackers.

Re: Posted books by Ryan and Shearer

Thanks. My guidebook has a bibliography which lists the books I own. It might be possible to add some more to archive.org if they are definitely
out of copyright and not too long.

Posted books by Ryan and Shearer

Two of the books I bought recently were such poor shape (pages falling out, etc.) that I made scans of them.
