Greetings all,
I want to make draughts great again.
But I need Lichess'sss help.
Make us a glorious Daughts/Checkers variant all mighty Lichess gods, plz?
p.s. would be more than happy with 8x8 version, given 10x10 might be more irritating to integrate
Much Love
Dr Robo
Would lichess accept this variant?
in my family all people like playing checkers and i hope this game will be on lichess.
it would be big + to this chess site.
Some of main rules:
each player have 12 pawns.
these pawns are placed on 3 first rows on black squares.
if pawn get to 8th rank then it's promoted to queen.
queen go forward and backward diagonally(pawns move only forward diagonally)
aim is to take all opponent's pawns and queens (pieces)
taking is forced
you can take piece by jumping over opponent's piece(if there are free square)
p.s: i forgot something -if you stalemate your opponent then you win.
Thanks for explaining the rules of checkers. I'm sure nobody knew them.
Nah Forget about the limited 8x8 american version of draughts.
10x10 international draughts is the way to go.
Does 10x10 play well at all time controls? I do enjoy the American variant...
I see all kind of time control in online international 10x10 sites.
8x8 american draughts has been "solved " ten years ago by computer scientist. International draughts is much more complex and only endgame positions with two through seven pieces are solved, and some positions with 8 or 9 pieces. That's the version Ivanchuk is playing in tournaments.
lichess should make both variants with 10*10 board and 8*8 board,because i like to play on 8*8 board,but you like to play on 10*10,so lichess should make both board sizes to checkers.
