:lol: Lindus I am sure that this fine checker book in question was read internationally, but unfortunately your answer here is not the one we are seeking. The hour grows late so I must sign off for now, so please give it another try tomorrow. "Mr. Checkers"

:lol: My dear friend and mentor Tom Wiswell published a lot of checker literature, so I can understand how this one may have been missed--"Learn Checkers Fast". :lol: "Mr. Checkers"
