Go up one level in this thread


Correction: The checkers program is Blitz54 by the company "PC Solutions".
   Yes, Chinook is also shareware but it uses 6 megabytes.
   Blitz is DOS and it doesn't have save/load function; those are the negatives.
   If you watch and play Blitz, you can find some strategies by trial and error.
 Blitz has its opening library always ON.
   The back rank usually has 2 out of 4 checker pieces on favorite positions.
The corner back rank is NOT one of them.  If the corner back rank is A1, then
(A3 and A7) are the ones the computer holds on to.
