The American Checker Federation

I have a slightly differing view, as I am very much still a learner at an early stage. Anyone and everyone will benefit from Checkers Made Easy (CME) and this is probably the first book to get your feet wet with. Even if you have little ambition to become a good player, this is a book for you, and w...

Finally, a quote that is actually interesting:

"Checkers is to chess as Bach is to Beethoven."

Richard Pask's Complete Checkers: Repertoire is available in hardcover, ahead of schedule. You can download a free PDF from the Checker Maven website or if you wish order the hardcover from Amazon; it should be available by now in most Amazon markets. As always the price is intended only to cover co...

In this article, which is one of the most extensive I've seen in a long while, is the following quote "Checkers is the sucker's game, the game they want you to play. Don't play it. Play chess." Here's the complete article: https://casualkitchen.blogspot.com/2017/03/checkers-and-chess.html ...

We all know and pretty much despise the "You need to play chess, not checkers" quote and all the ones similar to it. But I may have come across the worst of the worst by a comedian named Demetri Martin, who obviously doesn't know much about checkers and checker players. "I was on the ...

Not so --- I use it from time to time and appreciate it greatly.

Richard Pask and I are pleased to announce the availability of the new hardcover edition of Complete Checkers: Insights. This edition incorporates hundreds of corrections, changes, and additions and was a year in the making. The book is of course available as a free download on the Checker Maven web...

I'm very pleased to say that with today's column (2024-12-07) the Checker Maven webzine completes 20 years of weekly publication. I'm appreciative to everyone who has read and continues to read the column. I plan to carry on as long as health permits. I won't try to guess how long that might be, but...

Quite interesting, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUwMmS2ln8U

I think some hard cover editions would be most welcomed in the future :). I've started on them. As it requires complete reformatting of both books, it is going to take about a year as I can't work on it full time. But hopefully I will succeed and it will be worth it. Of course they will be more exp...

I am showing the UK editions as updated when I look on amazon.co.uk using a UK shipping address. It may be listed as "unavailable" due to your being in Ireland. You would have to ask Amazon about it. This is odd as there have been sales in Ireland of the first edition.

The 2nd editions of Richard Pask's monumental works, Complete Checkers: Insights and Complete Checkers: Repertoire are now available for free download on the Richard Pask page at checkermaven.com. The books are also available in print editions at amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, etc. There really isn't a n...

Wow, an enormous and breathtaking collection of items, some of which look pretty rare. Of course they are priced at collector's prices and maybe are not for the average Joe Checkerist.

Fortunately you can still access most of the checkerworld.com content from 2003 to about 2014 with the internet wayback machine on archive.org/web. I found Al's eclectic and detailed content to be both instructive and inspirational. I once had a copy of his Straight Checkers Gold and it reflected Al...
