... about checkers, you should know that there are a ton of variants. But the two most popular, in a way, are the British/American 8x8 checkers, which Chinook pretty much rules, and so-called International checkers, which is played on a 10x10 board. In the latter I think the human GM's are still superior. A while ago there was a match between an African GM Samb and a top program called Buggy. http://www.buggy-online.com/english/match_samb_buggy/match_samb_buggy_e.htm If you check the results you can see that Samb won. Of course, there are not enough results to say anything for sure, but at least there are no results where the programs have won against the very best palyers. These games differ not only in board size but in other rules having to do with captures and promotion to kings.
