New Checkers Site Completed!!!!

[Eric Strange]

http://www.cross-board.com/checkers/

This websites includes over 100,000 animated games. Gayp books, 3-move books, end game books, shots, tournament games, games played by top players in PlayOk.com since 2006 and much more. There are a couple things we are adding but everything is 100% functional and user friendly. I hope this website will help players to improve their game. I am open to hearing options people would like to see added to make the site a better place. Eventually this website will be linked into a forum and will have special options for registered members. I will also be adding an online rating calculator that will be as simple as uploading a cross table and clicking a button that will process ratings and write them to a database as well as adding a web based swiss, round robin and other types of pairing systems so anyone in ACF that wants to use this tool for tournament will have it available. Many more things will be done with this website in order to help our game as a whole. I hope everyone enjoys what me and my coder are doing and that it benefits everyone.

Thank you,

Eric Strange

P.S. Below is a list of functions the checkers part of my website includes!!!

1. Search by Book, Opening (Gayp or 3-Move), Position, Player
2. Choose from multiple board layouts
3. pick whether u want games to start out showing from white side or black side.
4. each game has its own link so you can save games u like.
5. move pieces on board back and forth with keyboard or mouse clicks
6. Flip board option for studying both sides of the board
7. game moves in pdn format for quick saving pruposes.
8. Many other options would take too long to write them all. ENJOY!!!! - http://www.cross-board.com/checkers/

Thank you Eric! I love the site!

i love it too Eric, im here at home with my younging on my lap. trying to look at a few games.
I think this is fantastic. There are a few minor glitches (ie sometimes white kings tend to look like normal pieces if you go through too quickly) but this is simply marvelous. I am a visual person and this is much easier to absorb than looking at numbers and doing it on a board on my table.

cheers on a fantastic effort and it is part of my top ten favourite websites already.

The king glitch is a little tricky.... it happens when u go forward, then go back before u king, then back forward again.... we are working to find where that problem is right now. There will also be some games that seem to mess up when ur going through them. That's because of illegal characters or moves in the original PDN. We auto corrected thousands of games so the errored games will be far and few between. If you can email me boredgames.net@gmail.com I will edit errored games manually.

Thank you for all of your comments I am really glad that you all like this.
