The American Checker Federation

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...

It's reproduced in this book

but I don't find an original source as requested.

Has anyone looked at lidraughts.org? It's based on the lichess code base and is extremely good and rather popular. It has quite a few variants but alas, only flying kings. I asked about "straight" checkers and they weren't especially interested. But the source code is freely available. It ...

The OMOCH exhibit is still available although it takes a little digging to find:

Also information about this tour can be found in a large book on my Checker Maven site:

I should have typed CC:R instead of CC:I!

Interesting too that Richard Pask's CC:I doesn't mention it either. Just for fun I ran out the KingsRow opening book on this: 1. 11-15 23-19 2. 8-11 22-17 3. 15-18 19-15 4. 10x19 24x8 5. 4x11 28-24 6. 12-16 24-20 7. 6-10 17-14 8. 10x17 21x14 9. 11-15 20x11 10. 7x16 * 9. 11-15 is the last "book&...

Kindle Direct, which does the printing for the books I've published for Richard Pask, has announced a big increase in printing prices for large format books and a smaller increase for smaller books. Complete Checkers 3rd Edition, Complete Checkers: Insights and Complete Checkers: Repertoire are affe...

I found the discussion, it was through the mail list, tried the WordPress, its kind of CRM, thousands of files in hundreds of directories. Likely good for non-programmers, I on the other hand, pride myself on writing exact code, can anyone suggest the best tools, I used Visual Studio, but it now of...

Dreamhost rebuilt the server and restored the site ... partly. It took me quite a few hours to get everything fixed but the Checker Maven site should now be fully functional. Please inform me if you run into any problems. A look at the logs showed that an amazing number of people tried to access the...
