First time I see a video of a pro checkers tournament, I knew they were organized in similar fashion to chess, but it's really interesting to actually see how familiar it all look. Many years ago I played a few amateur chess competitions with my city's team, we practiced together with the checkers team and it was quite fun to watch they play, I tried it a couple times, but I was mostly too scared to face them in their own territory 😅 The checkers people on the other hand, were much open to playing chess, which was very cool and brave of them to not be afraid of any challenge, many became reserves for the chess competitions, since we had few chessplayers.

[@checkers_tv]

@@artichoke60045 This changes after each move, although minimally in the early game. Most often, the game is decided between moves 35 and 45. A change in the indicator by 10% means a loss/profit of one checker, which at this level means a loss/win.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

​@@artichoke60045If you mean that the arrow indicating the best move for a given position has changed, it's simply that as long as the move hasn't been played by the player, the computer continues to calculate and if it finds a better move, it indicates it. This is a real-time display, not one added after the game. This is also proof of the complexity of the game. Even the computer doesn't immediately find the best position!

You can capture backwards, never played draughts like that when i was a kid.

[@checkers_tv]

Perhaps you have played American checkers, but here in 100-square checkers or in Brazilian 64-square checkers (both games have the same rules), you can capture backwards. It's an important element of strategy.

[@matthewkirkhart2401]

Yes, I agree, we always played that a king checker could capture in any direction, but a regular checker could only capture forward. This is an interesting rule difference that I'm sure greatly increases the strategy options and complexity of the game.

[@checkers_tv]

@@matthewkirkhart2401 Yes, this increases the complexity enormously! I recommend playing it and seeing for yourself, even out of curiosity.

[@artichoke60045]

So regular checkers can move only forward but can also capture backward, and kings can move forward and back as well as capture forward and back? That's a real difference. Trying to think of what might be similar in chess -- one allowing en passant pawn captures and the other not? It's probably a bigger difference than that, and that's a big difference. I noticed there wasn't a lot of emphasis on getting a king, black just did it when it didn't seem there was anything better to do toward the end of the game. More central play.

[@checkers_tv]

@@artichoke60045 In terms of rules, it is exactly as you write. However, in terms of strategy, it is a very complex problem, there is no universal method of playing the game. Although the center is actually important in every type of drafts.

[@paulepstein9739]

"Checkers" can mean a lot of different games. To a Brit, it would normally mean playing with 12 checkers each on an 8 x 8 board. That game was solved many years ago so you couldn't really have a serious event in that game. Hence (as others have said), this game is the 10 x 10 version which is far from solved.

@@messiGrd When people point out that men and women are different it's so frequently misconstrued as 'sexist' in some way. Men have been proven to be better at logical analysis. It's a throw back to caveman times when the men were the hunters and providers and having analytical thought was a big help for that. It *doesn't* mean men are more intelligent, in fact I believe the person with the highest IQ in the world is a woman. Logical analysis is just one facet of what we call 'intelligence' But the strongest chess and checkers players tend to be male. Chess performance can be evaluated by Elo rating and men tend to be stronger. The stats are there. The strongest women players could easily beat most male players with a lower Elo rating If you still want to throw a hissy fit about it , then feel free.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

Whether it's chess or checkers, women are no less talented. There are simply far fewer of them. As a result, the pool from which female champions could emerge is much smaller. In fact, if parity were ever to be achieved, women's tournaments would no longer be justified. This notion of population size is not limited to the ratio of men to women. Countries with large numbers of players, where the game is played in schools... such as the Netherlands or Russia, for example, top the international rankings. So don't be mistaken about women's ability to excel at strategy games.

[@checkers_tv]

Natalia Sadowska añade el argumento de que los hombres están orientados a las tareas y pueden concentrarse plenamente en el juego (tarea). Las mujeres a menudo tienen otras cosas en el fondo de sus mentes. Otro tema es el apetito por el riesgo. Las mujeres parecen ser más conservadoras (como conducir) que los hombres. Y en las damas, el juego agresivo a menudo vale la pena.

@@checkers_tv También he leído criterios científicos de que el hombre tiene el cerebro más grande, memoriza más y tiene ese instinto de lucha , de guerra , más desarrollado que las mujeres. Desde nuestros antepasados...

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

​@@jorgecobas3386Men's brains are on average 10% larger than women's, at around 1,350 kg for men versus 1,200 kg for women. On average, women have slightly more white matter and men slightly more grey matter. However, it should be noted that neither brain size nor the proportions of grey and white matter have any impact on an individual's intellectual capacities. Albert Einstein, for example, had a brain weighing 1.250 kg. In fact, advances in research into brain development and cerebral plasticity show that girls and boys have the same cerebral aptitudes in terms of cognitive functions such as intelligence, memory, attention and reasoning. Publications that attempt to show the contrary are methodologically biased and lack rigor. As for aggressiveness, it's more a question of social behavior, which for the same individual can vary depending on the activity. In an interview, Natalia Sadowska confessed that her coach had advised her to moderate her aggressiveness at checkers ! In any case, this is not a genetically inherited instinct. In short, science shows that there is no difference in intellectual capacity between men and women. The real differences are sociological. Don't give credence to what are often just prejudices.

You're not very observant! You haven't even noticed that this game isn't played on a chessboard, but on a checkerboard (10x10). The fact that the pieces are uniform is a feature common to the vast majority of abstract combinatorial games, such as Go. Chess has retained a lower level of abstraction, with this stylized representation of an ancient battle, with its different types of units (infantry, cavalry...). All these abstract games are wonderful. Unfortunately, checkers is much underestimated by many people, who know neither the real rules nor the strategies.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

It's not just a question of the number of squares. In American checkers, you can only capture forward, the king can only move one square, and there's no notion of majority capture (capturing the maximum number of pieces). This is the simplest variant of checkers. However, when played at a high level, it is much more complex than you might think. If you want to discover checkers, you might as well go straight to International Checkers, the standard tournament version. In this game, pawns can capture forward and backward, the king can move several squares and the majority capture must be applied. All of this enriches the game enormously. The checkerboard is 10x10, but Brazil and some Eastern European countries also play 8x8, with the same rules. And of course, whatever the variant, this game is nothing without the obligatory catch. If you want to play with good players, there's Lidraughts, which also has a powerful AI and analysis module. It's always nice to see players curious about games other than their favorite.

[@robertk8829]

@@alainvillesuzanne8613 Thanks for answer. I don't know American checkers, I said about international checkers 8x8 which is the most popular in Poland, 10x10 is most often played at tournaments. This is also a certain disadvantage of checkers, that it has many types and rules. Chess has the same rules everywhere. But yeah it can be useful and developmental for players if they interested other games. By example GO is another interesting game which is supposedly even more difficult than chess.

Whenever I've played checkers in the past, it was on an 8x8 with 12 pieces. Has this always been the case, and I've been playing the game wrong, or has this been developed because of Chinook solving checkers back in 2007? I also never knew you could take backwards! I was always told that's cheating and you can only take forwards. Nor can you offer a piece to take rather than automatically having to take the piece. This is like a different game, and I feel like my childhood experience was tainted. I almost want to try it again because this looks like a proper game.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

In English-speaking countries, we play American checkers: you only capture forward, the kings only move one square... This is the simplest form of checkers. But you still need a lot of practice to play it at a high level. The most important thing is not to abandon the obligatory capture, otherwise you lose much of the richness of the game, and this is the only rule common to all checkers variants. We're talking here about international checkers, whose rules are no less than 300 years old! The 10x10 checkerboard, back capture, majority capture (maximum number of pieces) and "flying" kings add to the richness and interest of the game.

Bo pula czasu na rozegranie całej partii jest skończona, to nie jest czas na pojedynczy ruch, tylko całą grę. To sprawia, że kolejnym ważnym elementem gry jest właśnie zarządzanie czasem.

Too bad the board is 10x10, otherwise a chess board could be used for this game too

Yes, it complicates the matter a bit, but it's still not that difficult to prepare a 10x10 board.

Yes, but we only play on the black squares (50). So chess is played on even more squares (64). And that's nothing compared to Go, where the game is played on 19x19 (181)!

[@JohnDunsScotus-d1p]

This is too easy for chess, chess is an immortal game, as one author says. 10 to the power of 120 possible moves, you know how much that is - chess is too big for the human mind as well as for the computer. They say that the number of elementary particles in our universe is an estimate, of course we don't know that, but come on, 10 to the power of 87, chess moves 10 to 120, and where are the strength of the pieces and their combinatorics, the complexity of positions, great dangers, traps, the queen, the knight and the rook fight over the whole board, etc., etc., when someone tells me that the Chinese game of Go or this Mice is harder than chess, I just smile sweetly. Well, look at the best chess players in the world, what they are able to do and how intellectually dominant they are over the players of these games, imagine when you play without an assistant (secondary) ten simultaneous games blindly at Harvard like Magnus Carlsen, that's 320 positions on 10 boards, they are constantly changing from move to move, you have to know each piece where it beats, what it attacks, what it defends, if you play the so-called impossible move, you forget where your figure is, so move it to the square, you've lost it.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

Your comment is based on circular reasoning: chess is said to be the most complex game because of the performance (blind simultaneous games) of certain people... at chess! Haven't you wondered whether these same people would have obtained similar results in Go or checkers? Players who know these games well agree that it's harder to visualize and memorize Go and checkers games, partly because of the uniformity of the pieces, and partly because of the multiple captures in checkers and the increasingly complex configuration during a Go game. Despite this, some players achieve great feats, such as Ton Sijbrands, who played 32 international checkers simultaneous blind games, winning 14 and drawing 18. In terms of the number of possible positions, chess is completely overtaken by Go. In any case, for all three games, this number far exceeds human capabilities, and for none of them is there an infallible winning strategy. The computer is now much stronger than man, whatever the game, and is no longer seen as an adversary but as a training and analysis tool. We really need to break out of this parochialism, especially from some chess players, and promote abstract strategy games as a whole to the general public.

[@JohnDunsScotus-d1p]

@@alainvillesuzanne8613 Everything you said is incorrect, first of all you don't know what the error of circular reasoning is, I really do, because I'm a philosopher by training. What you stated is not inference in a circle, because I did not assume what I need to prove, and I did not say that it is the most difficult because it is possible to play simultaneously blindly, but I stated the reasons for it: a strategy that involves chess and chess reasoning is incomparable more complex than Go and other games, precisely because there are pieces and pawns that have different strengths, in the game of Go you have to surround the opponent's pieces, while in chess you have to checkmate the king, it is incomparably more complex and abstract, there are pieces, that is, chess in terms of material, there are different styles of play - attacking and positional, pieces have much stronger power, and moves are much more dangerous, in one situation you have no danger, and then two following moves you can get checkmate danger, or you have the possibility to force checkmate in 8 moves, but it is so difficult to calculate and see, for example, otherwise, a move in chess is not def. when one player moves a piece, but when both players play a move, it is only one move - to be clear. Now I'm going to send you a problem that was posed by a Belgian chess player that the greatest chess players of that time failed to solve, but at that tournament everyone was in one place, and neither was the computer, but Mihael Talj solved it from another time, an incredibly difficult problem , and you know how many such there are, you have, for example, a forced checkmate in 10 moves, and the branching of possible moves from those 10 can go, for example, to the power of that move 4-5 times, so see how many possible moves there are. By the way, it is not at all true that computers play better than humans, in fact, you have examples where computers cannot solve problems that below average chess players can easily solve, computers are only programmed and stored with information, they do not understand the game, as they do not have creativity and intelligence, which man has everything, like Godel with his theorem of the incompleteness of mathematics that there are mathematical truths discovered by the human mind that no computer will be able to solve, because it is about necessary truths that are irrefutable. Not to mention that John Searle, a contemporary American philosopher, cut the argument on the thesis of strong artificial intelligence with his so-called famous Chinese room argument, which he showed that computers are not only less intelligent than humans and that they do not think, but that they are not intelligent at all, that is, they do not understand any knowledge, because they are purely syntactic programmed machines, and syntax is not sufficient for semantics, etc. etc., I don't have time or space to explain all that to you further, live in your false beliefs. Also, Gödel showed that with the incompleteness theorem an incredible thing, and it is irrefutable, because it is a mathematical proof, therefore, a mathematical theorem of necessary truth, that if the human mind has discovered the truth about the limitation of our formal systems - in this case mathematics, then either mathematics is too big for the human mind or the human mind is more than a machine, it has creativity that surpasses any possible algorithm. Let's not say that what you claim is a classic deception, because computers all the so-called. more cognitive functions are performed incomparably more slowly than humans - writing, translating, composing and everything that requires human intelligence and creativity. When you see how computers compose, you cry with laughter, can a computer write symphonies like Bruckner or Mahler, or works like Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, etc., etc., no, and never will be able to, because only secret human genius can! Same as mathematics, chess is so giant for human mind which is much more then algorithm and machine. Which mathematical or philosophical problem can a computer solve? Give me just one, I don't mean to solve the equation, but the biggest problems that are the basis of those sciences as solved by Leibniz, Descartes, Russell, Riemann, Euler, Gauss, Frege, Hilbert, von Neumann, Godel, and other great figures of mathematics and philosophy. By the way, learn what the problem of circular inference is, because you don't know anything about inference at all, circular inference is when you have the identity of the definiendum and definiens, and you don't even know what those terms means, just like you don't even know what a statement formula, proof, theorem is , deductive and inductive rules, etc., etc.

women play the easier game lol

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

There's about the same proportion of women in checkers as in chess or other strategy games (too low). This is the result of a cultural tendency to reserve such games for men. But when women play at a high level, they are just as good as men. It's just a question of population size. If you were to play a game with one of these two players, you would painfully discover both the real complexity of this game and your low level compared to these players.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

If you think that, you've never played the game seriously. Have you ever played international checkers (10x10, backward capture , mandatory capture, majority capture, flying king)? You confuse simple rules with simple strategies. Like Go, checkers has extremely simple rules. But like Go, at high levels, the strategies and tactics employed can be highly complex. Check out fmjd, "Learn" section. You'll find thousands of pages of lessons.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

​@@ricardo9467I invite you to find out more about what "solved" implies in this case. (A perfect game always ends in a draw). The game is therefore perfectly balanced. And this only applies to the simplest version of checkers (American checkers). The game played in competition is International Checkers. You seem to think we've found a sure-fire winning strategy. In that case, sign up for international tournaments. You'll become world champion, because nobody else knows such a strategy!
