The American Checker Federation

Removed

Its been like 3 years since decision was made to create a new site, with Word Press software. Frankly I expected to see it running. What happened?

Meanwhile I too started tinkering with WordPress, put some Russian and Pool checkers books, no Straight checkers yet, it just testing while learning.

There was a discussion about a new USA website a couple of years ago, has anything come of it?

Hi all, Checkers USA Books site had a lot of historical data on Straight checkers. Some people used programs to automatically download all files, and that blew the site download limit. Anyway, I sneaked the data back, but do not want to put the links on the site, away from programs. This is not perm...

Hi, your order was received.

Kaplan's books are for the Pool checkers, not the Straight checkers.

I visited Gerry some 20 years ago, was very impressed by his library, many rare books. He gave me a couple books, I passed them on to other players.
