Subject: Question about checkers for chess programmers

Author: Jeff Kenton

I'm beginning to write a checkers playing program (just for the hell of it).

Given that checkers has fewer choices at any move but tends to require deeper
look ahead, which of the programming look ahead strategies do you consider to be
most suitable?

Also, for those who actually understand checkers well (I don't), what positional
factors are most important for evaluating a position.
