Fun Fact: Checkers was "solved" in 2007. They found that every game will end in a draw when neither player makes a mistake. An -unbeatable- unbeaten Checkers AI, Chinook, was -produced- updated to be unbeatable as a result. EDIT: My post implies that the AI in question did not exist beforehand. It was just updated by the person who created the proof to make it impossible to beat. Apologies for any confusion. Many thanks to Seth Courrégé for helping me spot this. Show them some love by leaving a like in their reply to me. :)

For what it's worth: Checkers is a "solved game" -- a map can and has been constructed which, if followed, guarantees a win or draw for the player following the guide, regardless of what moves their opponent makes. You've likely seen similar "no-lose" maps for much simpler games like Tic Tac Toe. In short, there is no first-move advantage in (American rules) Checkers.

[@MasterChief0522]

Chess is also a solved game, but that doesn't mean white doesn't have an advantage in moving first.

[@ForeverLaxx]

@@MasterChief0522 Chess is only "solved" if you're playing a special variant, usually "losing chess". It employs different rules and compulsory capture that limit the complexity to a level that computers were able to solve it. Normal chess has only been "partial solved" for specific low-piece endgame boardstates and not for a full match. It's possible to solve chess, theoretically, because there aren't an infinite number of moves but currently computers aren't powerful enough to brute force a solution.

[@bathtubzen]

Well anyone who played a lot of checkers growing up can see how bad they are with their naïve moves and lack of basic checkers strategy. I don't think they know any of the game theory

[@Gordyan_Knot]

these isolated eps have a weird energy. TBH, I was kind of worried about how being separated would mess with the dynamic that hasn't been touched for almost a decade, but these are some of the freshest eps in a long time.

[@shsltrash820]

Checkers guy here, so when I look at arin and dan play I can see that dan is using a defensive strategy, very safe,as for arin, he is using an offensive strat. It’s a pretty aggressive strategy, very risky. If the opponent can successfully counter effectively, then it leaves your back row defenseless. Will check back in when game is over to offer analysis. Edit: so after seeing the first match I would say that arin almost messed up, he made a bad move which could have given dan a chance to turn the tables, cause arin was on the offensive there, the issue there is if dan could have gotten his peices behind arins, then he would have as a clear path to some Kings, cause when your aggressive you are bringing your peices up, which can leave your back row almost empty and getting past that is a free king. it’s risky business to be aggressive, but it was fine cause dan did not pursue the mistake. Dan was playing defensive and timid/Safe so he wasn’t taking advantage of arins placements as well as he could have imo, that was the turning point and it cost dan the game. In game 2 arin dident really think it through. I’m suspecting Arin was lucky simply because he plays aggressively in most games so he defaults to it without knowing it and it just so happened to counter dans strategy. Cause defense is fine but you have to attack back at some point, In game 2 dan played much more balanced. He was able to take advantages when he saw them without being to aggressive. In game 3 dan made a very fatal mistake. He tried to do the same thing as game 2. He was very transparent and even Arin was able to see through it. Like Arin said he knew what dan was doing, so in that way he could be very aggressive while controlling the situation. Edit 2: so some people below are confused, the strategy’s are legit, but they really dident have names that I could recall so I gave them names, it’s still legit though don’t worry. Just wanted to clear that up. I will just get rid of the fake names since some people don’t seem to like them,

[@awesomejoey8042]

At 13:28, when dan could have moved his king back to bait a weak piece for a king, I screamed internally for around 2 minutes.

[@lyrical_enby]

Hey Danny and Arin. I don’t know if you’re going to see this comment, but I just wanted to say that I love you guys and your videos. During the Backstreet Boys Reunion Tour, I’ve been really lonely, and feeling pretty depressed. Your videos never fail to make me smile, though. They give me the serotonin I need to get through the day. So, I guess, thank you for being yourselves and continuing to make videos and play games. Y’all are the best ❤️

[@sofiipote7]

Now is the PERFECT time to play monopoly AGAIN. Yes, again. I'll never be tired of it

6:31: mfw arin blunders but dan counters with the reverse double blunder and arin's blundered piece becomes a king

[@HantaleMedia]

Hello, local Checkers enthusiast, here to give you a game breakdown. Both Arin and Dan had a roughly 7 to 3 bad to good play ratio, so they mostly balanced each other's badness out. Their initial lack of understanding of the rules doesn't help much, so they both could probably improve a great deal by being taught that you can make strategic plays by forcing an opponent to take your piece, which they currently aren't really looking at. Dan missing the chance to lose a piece and take TWO kings in return is a great example of that blunder, at 13:40

[@dinoswar1337]

Seeing Danny have the perfect opportunity to trap Arin and take both of his kings at 13:48 killed me First time I've ever shouted at the screen and it's just an incoherent "move the king back!"

[@zipherdias420]

This really reminded me of "You know, its really hard to lose when YOU NEVER MOVE YOUR BACK ROW."

[@connerrose6116]

It kills me when I realize a great move they could do and they don't notice the move. At 13:24 if Dan had moved his king back one space he could have taken one of Arin's kings. I feel like a coach watching their student make obvious mistakes, but I'm not allowed to help them.

[@solidwatercress3601]

It would be amazing if someone managed to make a completely unrelated GG animated using this like the metal gear solid animation from the original checkers episode

[@pmocte0154]

This clubhouse series has really gotten me through the tougher times of te backstreet boys reunion tour. I'll always be grateful for that.

[@jonathanrobinson8926]

That moment when Dan had the chance to take Arin's king and missed it made me so sad. He might have lost anyways but it would have felt so good.

[@mashedmay1726]

Me, when I miss a Game Grumps episode: “Well shit!”

[@thewolfonfire]

I have to listen to the intro at least 3 or 5 times before actually starting the episode bc I love it so much

[@robrick92]

Dan: "That was fun episode. Lets play some more parlor games, Arin" And a 14-part series was borm

[@nikolaosrokas8840]

House party had best resume soon, if y'all know what's best for you.

[@Martynde]

I think they've ended the House Party run of episodes.

[@nikolaosrokas8840]

I'm just goofin around

[@pinstripe4254]

I’m not like a checkers master but watching Danny’s first game makes me feel like a genius. It’s just another level of joy that these videos bring.

[@khed7104]

The fact you both have this makes there so much potential for playing fun games in game grumps vs, so far some of my favs are yacht dice, billiards, darts, nine men’s Morris, and of course all the classics like chess and checkers are always fun

[@GoingsOn]

8:36 “King me” gives off strong cupcakKe vibes with the way Arin said it.

[@ivanquarman01]

Durring the third game i was just screaming "dan what are you doing?"

[@TRUEKingEN]

6:32 Dan could’ve easily gotten a king by just walk king his piece diagonally left.

[@MarcWFaceman]

And both of Arin's kings if he had moved his king into the corner at 13:28!

[@rachelladue1572]

Trust me I was trying to tell them this thru my screen

[@minhuang8848]

I'm pretty sure there's someone out there with a dog that can play better than Danny, I'm still not convinced it isn't deliberate.

[@lucazombiee]

because Dan says "dingleberry" so endearingly I cant tell if he's using it in the official definition, or the way in which it refers to a clump of dried feces attached to an animal's hind, stuck in the fur, and you know what, at this point i feel like he'd speak about it with the same amount of love in his voice either way

[@pinkladyht]

"YOU HAVE A LINE! IT'S A FISH, IT'S A BEAUTY, IT'S A BEAUTY FISH!" 😂😂 I'M TAPING FISHING! TO WATCH AGAIN LATER! "COME ON OVER, I GOT A FISHING TAPE! NOOOOOH A NEW ONE!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 B. Regan is the best!

My backseat gaming is out of control. I know the screen can't hear me, but...

Rule Number 1 to keep subscribed to GameGrumps: You're here for the audio, not the visual~

[@ThisIsPete]

Hell yes. Was hoping you two would throw down in this. Bring it! Your board game episodes are always my favourites.

[@LadyCartoonCritic]

This was fun to watch and relaxing ^^ thank you guys for playing this. I needed the break ^^

[@thestainless2411]

Imagine revisiting the greatest hits of game grumps and forgetting frolf 😢

[@onehungryboy9438]

Ngl lovelies... I released a pretty meaty one from the depths after Dan's intro. Almost like he summoned it

[@TheHylianBatman]

Oh, boy, here we go... I'm so excited for the rest of this series!

[@KawaiiPewPew]

20:30 Dan played a good move to safely get a king. The superior move would be to move the back piece second from the left forward then could've taken out two pieces and still get a king before Arin does Just a friendly tip from your local neighborhood Buddha

[@i9incher]

See, we are playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess..... wait....

[@haydenjayme2897]

I feel like this is going to be them when they're 80. Just strictly playing checkers, chess etc. 😂

[@tacothedank]

And legendary monopoly Arin has still yet to win a single game Dan is too Mr. Business

[@flimsfilms4755]

Saw the unlisted playlist and I have been waiting for this

[@pedrostormrage]

26:56 Fun fact: there are actually protocols for coin flipping by telephone; that's a problem in cryptography. Look up "How to perform a fair coin toss experiment over phone?"

[@Hailey_Indigo_Burrows]

There's a random function in the game you don't have to flip a coin
