Congratulations, and well done Lindus.
I don't suppose you will be publishing any of those new cooks anytime soon ?

Cooks? I thought checkers was solved! Congratulations on your victory in mail play. Checkers is indeed a big game, from mail play to one minute games! --George Hay

Re: congratulations to lindus Edwards
It depends what you mean by "solved." I think computer programs have "solved" some of the openings but the mind of man will never achieve such a thing. Incidentally, I never use programs in mail play but prefer to burn the midnight oil instead. I find it much more fun
Thank you for your kind words.

I never used a computer in postal chess either. What would have been the point? I won some and lost more but they were honest wins and losses.
Congratulations again on a job well done.

Re: congratulations to lindus Edwards
those people that say checkers has been solved obviously never played it or understand the game....
