Hi Jeroen,

I wrote a checkers program last year (to win a bet), and came across a checkers
version of PGN. However, it is not as commonly used as PGN in Chess.
Unfortunately, my checkers program (Deep Brew) doesn't support it either :-(

Probably a good person to ask in this regard is Martin Fierz. He is a
computer-checkers expert of the first order, and if I remember rightly, is the
author of Checkerboard, a sort of WinBoard for Checkers. He also frequents this
newsgroup.

Cheers
Adam
