So I wonder why the Chinook has lagged far behind in relation to the Cake and KR.

Re: Wyllie draughts
The main reason is that the development of Chinook ceased in the 1990s. Like most game-playing programs of that era, it used a traditional linear evaluation function. Modern programs employ machine-learning techniques and have made rapid improvements. This is true for checkers, chess and other board games such as Othello.

Re: Wyllie draughts
Would be great if he would give us permission to sell the software(wyllie) draughts and have funds go to youth fund or something he likes the program is way out of date but it would be cool for nostalgia perhaps. It is the only capable program I dont have.
