Red- Alex Moiseyev Whte- Joe Moore
White to Move and Draw!
I thought Alex M would have replied 11-16 the previous move, which seems to win for red. He replied 3-7, which surprised me. I replied 30-25, which loses. 31-27 is another move however, that draws for white. There are actually 3 very cool ways white can force a draw after 31-27. I will post one of the ways.
31-27, 13-17, 22-6, 15-31, 23-18, 31-24, 32-28, 2-9, 28-19, 9-13, 19-15 Draw! Try to find the other two ways white can force the draw!
Red- Joe Moore White-Louis Cowie
Red to Move and Draw!
This is another classic pp draw. I have studied it about 30 times in Basic Checkers. Guess what? I resigned! For some reason, for about the last 10 moves of the game, I was convinced there was something different about the position and it was not that same draw I studied over and over again. Instead of playing it out, I gave up and gave a free game away. So now you get to do what I was not able to do and find the draw!
Red-Joe Moore White- Rich Beckwith
Red to Move and Win!
I think I confused Rich this game and was why I was able to arrive at this winning position, though it should be pointed out that I had made a losing move earlier in the game. Fortunately for me, Rich did not play it right. However, I replied 7-11, which turns out to be a very strong position for white. There is a shot for red that I missed. See if you can find it!
