What do you like about checkers?: I love how it combines simplicity with profundity.

Rawle Allicock question

Post by DrCaesar »

I know he won the British Open in 2006, but unless I'm mistaken, he seems to have been more active in chess than in draughts. Has he competed in a lot of draughts tournaments over the years?

Evidently he is a very active Shogi player as well.

I played with him in 1996 and all three games are in my notes - one draw and everyone won a piece.

I am playing checkers, not chess.

Correction to my previous statement: he won the British Open in 2008, not 2006.
