The American Checker Federation

No one should be running out of time, they have plenty of time to think. Im not biased i like both players and have played both of them quite a lot, but that's life Alex should be aware of his time.

3-1 is quite a deficit in a WCM. Goes to show that Alex has some tricks up his sleeve when he needs them. I am really excited to see what unfolds in the next rounds. Great match guys.... keep it up :) No offense to Alex who is an amazing player, but I think Borg is the more gifted one of the two. B...

Not watching the games as its boring, still think games should be somewhat quicker to attract more people especially future players. But as I've said before Borg has better crossboard Alex knows more lines. So it will be very close i still think Borg will edge it.

I decided to move this post under "General Information" forum section which should better match it's meaning and also do non generate junk, off-top posts in respectable "Home Internationals 2012" topic Borghetti. Bernini, Scarpetta, Devlin, McCosker, Hannigan,Mc Elhone, Docherty...

Are you seriously comparing yourself to Marion Tinsley? How did you come to that conclusion ? im just saying something that used to work for me when i played. Im not comparing myself to Tinsley in anyway what so ever i just questioned 100 moves ahead, and said he could of remembered the pattern of ...

He probably just recognized the loss from the pattern, which is what i did when i memorized losses. I doubt he was actually thinking 100 moves ahead because thats 50 moves each, and he couldn't just look at one alternative route. He'd have to look at many different ways, or it could of been a loss h...

And just how many chess grandmasters have reached master level at checkers? Seems like it would be trivially easy if chess is really as difficult as you claim it is. Why would they bother ? there's hardly any money in Checkers, i don't know what the prize money for Chess is but i assume its much mo...

No offense Joe but Chess is way harder of course it is. Well of course it isn't since it is a scientific fact that game theoretically they belong to the same complexity class. More posistions, more openings, more endings, Yes chess is larger but checkers is more deep and profound. There exists game...

No offense Joe but Chess is way harder of course it is. More posistions, more openings, more endings, more competition ETC. Most grandmaster Chess players are genius's with very high IQ's. When i did play Checkers i got to a pretty high level as did alot of online Checker's players i know. But i kno...

Sergio done us proud, next time he willl be champ. Were gonna train with him even harder next time.

Disappointing from Sergio, he should be ahead in this match.

Adam you are quite correct,there is no fun it,its so intense and tho not physical you need to be fit mind and body. And thats just when you get there; to get there its at least 10 years of study and self denial of other fun things you would rather do.I can see you play for fun and if thats what you...
