SAGE?

Post by whitefork »

Can it still be purchased? I needed to reinstall (new PC - Windows 7) and found a download for the demo version, but can't seem to find it for sale any more.
If not SAGE, what do you recommend?

Download checkerboard aka "CAKE"

has 8 piece database available and multiple engines like Kingsrow

All in all it is a good program and wayyyyy stronger than sage.

I can beat sage pretty easily on lower settings. Checkerboard is much tougher

What do you like about checkers?: I enjoy learning more and more as i go. despite its alleged simplicity the game is incredibly complex and rewarding.

sorry for showing my blatant ignorance on this topic so eloquently.... but does that mean i have to download 2 programs ???

i tried before to download it because Mr Chee recommended it for ease of use in creating PDN's but truth be told i failed miserably... i dont know if it was my security settings ( i hate macafee et al) or my impatience (i cant stand something that takes more than 5 minutes to download) or my lack of computer skills (i can kill a fly with my mouse pad... :))

please explain.... i know im probably asking a stupid question... but it is genuine (both the question and the stupidity)

cheers
