	Draughts - LoveToKnow 1911
		Draughts Openings.-As there are seven possible first moves, with seven possible replies to each, or forty-nine in all, there is an abundant variety,of openings; but as two of these (9-14,2 1-17 and 10-14, 21-17) are obviously unsound, the number is really reduced to forty-seven.
		Other Varieties.-The forms of draughts practised on the European continent differ in some respects from the English variety, chiefly in respect of the power assigned to a man after "crowning." The game of Polish Draughts is played in France, Holland, Belgium and Poland, where it has entirely superseded Le Jeu de dames d la francaise.
		This form of draughts, played on a board of 144 squares with 30 men a side, is extensively practised by British soldiers in India.

	Draughts, Checkers - Online Guide
		Draughts is a very ancient game indeed, the origins of which, like Chess, aren't completely clear.
		This game is superior in complexity to English draughts by virtue of the fact that it is played on a board ten squares by ten squares and that capturing moves have an extended scope.
		Polish Draughts was probably the name given in order to make it sound slightly different to West European ears in the same way as for Chinese Checkers and Russian Billiards.

	MindZine - Classic - Draughts
		Draughts originated in Europe and appears to have been developed from the earlier game of Alquerque, which also involved capturing by jumping.
		The difference between these two variants is that in Russian Draughts a piece can reach the final rank by capturing, and then be promoted and carry on capturing in the same move.
		In most draughts games, pieces are not removed until the end of a move and the capturing piece cannot jump the same piece twice.

	Regalia Irish Draughts
		The Irish Draught Horse will willingly turn his hoof to any discipline or sport, be it dressage, showjumping or cross country, and do it with a calm yet eager nature, ideal for all sorts and abilities of riders.
		However, with an Irish Draught this need not be the case, for of all the “full sized” horses, the Irish Draught is the one who keeps condition on the least amount of hard feed, and who is the most able to tolerate a wintering out with just a good rug and maybe a field shelter.
		As the Irish Draught is a rare breed, it is important to try and keep the gene pool as wide as possible, but to do so in such a way that the quality of the Irish Draught breed is not allowed to deteriorate.

	DRAUGHTS
		Sooner or later the peoples will understand the importance of this queen in the game of chess and draughts.
		We agree (as did that great pioneer Ricardo Calvo) that Isabella I of Castile was deeply implicated in the establishment of the new, long-legged chess queen, and, as you point out, in the game of draughts.
		It was a labor of love for me to research and write "Birth of the Chess Queen" -- a project that brought me to the Royal Library in the Hague, to the Cleveland Public Library on several ocassions, and to Spain (Madrid and Catalonia).
