The Checker King

Post by George Hay »

Harold O'Brien demonstrates this opening trap in the movie The Checker King. For a duffer like me this is a lesson!
1. 11-16 23-18 2. 16-20 24-19 3. 8-11 19-15 4. 10x19 18-14 5. 9x18 22x15x8 6. 4x11 27-24 7. 20x27 31x24x15x8
White Wins!

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.
