So then where is cake and Chinook..? > Or is that a completly different game? Many differences between the games. Tony Werten explained most of them. On the computing side, there are also some interesting differences : International draughts is farther from being solved than Checkers for a few reasons : - average number of moves per game : 50-60 per player (25-30 for checkers) - average number of moves per position : 10-13 (6-7-8 ?) - number of pieces at the start of the game : 20 per player (12) - opening book is much less decisive than in Checkers and any other game. In 10x10 draughts, it is mostly a question of fashion. All opening moves are good ! Can you find many games with this feature ? The best programs have not yet reached the level of world champion. It has already been done in checkers for a few years. And well, also, already twice in Chess. Hope this is of interest.
