Are there any good shareware/freeware programs for checkers? The other day in a book store I saw a book by a Bridge player from Pakistan. In one chapter he wrote that he offered six million dollars to any computer that would beat him. Later in the same chapter he went on to say that no one who plays Bridge seriously responded to his challenge because all Bridge players know that it is not possibly for a computer to beat the world champion (him). Is that right? Is it impossible to program a Bridge program that plays at the level of Bridge world champion?
