Just curious, is "Spanish checkers" the same game as "Polish Draughts", "International Draughts", "Damen" etc? http://www.multimania.com/nic55/dames/dames2.htm They say it is played in "most French-speaking countries (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, and the African continent) and also in the Netherlands, and in the ex-soviet union countries." This is the game on the 10x10 board. According to people who have tried, it is a bit harder to write a strong program for it than for chess. Perhaps it should be the next big board-game programming challenge, now that chess programs are more or less in reach of the top human players, and Go still seems much too hard.
