	Origin of Draughts
		With their fascination for checker boards and the discovery of two kinds of stones (which could have been used as playing pieces), it is most probably that they were also the original inventors of a primitive form of checkers.
		Even though it is reported that checkered boards and round checker type pieces were found in the ancient excavated tombs of Egypt, it is difficult to assert that these boards and pieces were utilized exclusively for the game of draughts.
		This fact especially has become the greatest handicap for the game of checkers as compared to chess, which is being played all over the world in a universal manner; it is extremely regrettable because the checker game is equal to chess as far as depth, beauty and complexity concerns.

		And serious checker players sometimes are defensive about that, and will tell you that checkers is better than chess.
		Checkers on an 8x8 board, is the checkers game played mostly in Great Britain (where it is called draughts), USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and a few other countries.
		There is a widespread misconception about checkers, that it is a dead game because it is "solved," that a super-computer can play perfect checkers the way that the ship's computer plays chess on Star Trek.

	Straight Checkers
		Straight checkers, also known as English draughts, is played on the dark squares only of a standard checkerboard of 64 alternating dark and light squares, (eight rows, eight files) by two opponents having 12 checkers each of contrasting colors, nominally referred to as fl andwhite.
		A "huff" of a checker for failure to jump properly is not permitted as it was in the past.
		The Chinook Checker Program at the University of Alberta in Canada is generally considered to be the world's strongest computer program for straight checkers, a.k.a.

	CHECKERS MAIN PAGE
		Although the most widely available sets of checkers consist of fl and red boards and pieces, they provide poor visibility, especially for the fl pieces on the fl squares.
		You would be able to see the fl checkers, but it makes no sense to use checkers of the same color as the squares on which they are placed.
		In Spanish checkers men move and jump forward only, but kings cross the board in one move, so this variation is, so to speak, halfway between the other two types.
