	Polish or International Draughts
		Polish draughts was invented at the Palais Royal in Paris about 1725 by an officer of the court of Philippe II of Orléans in collaboration with a Pole who went by the name of The Polonese.
		They came across the name Polish draughts in a dictionary, published in 1710, and they found a two sided board with a morris pattern and a chequered pattern with 100 squares that was made in 1696.
		The Dutch draughts historian Gerhard Bakker made the suggestion that the 10x10 board could have been proposed by an influential engineer who pleaded for the introduction of a decimal arithmetical system.

	Origin Of Checkers-Druaghts (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For example, Voltaire looked down on draughts while Jean Jacques Fousseau was an enthusiastic player; we have a description of the cottage that the Mali Vice~President Daba Diarre had built in his garden for the purpose of draughts playing; and there are numerous reproductions of paintings and cartoons on draughts.
		I think that it is useless to look for draughts in the culture of chivalry; particularly since it appears that chess and backgammon were popular with the knights, merels, next.
		Before 1900 International contacts were difficult, with the result that in a number of other countries, especially in the English-speaking territories, the board of 64 squares was maintained; consequently, the game of checkers is no international game any more.

	About Killer Draughts
		Killer Draughts uses the same applet as Draughts - the only reason to implement it seperately is a statistical one: in time the stats will reveal the difference in the number of draws between these two ways of playing essentially the same game.
		The exception in draughts has had a huge negative influence on its image, and it is the draw that draughts nowadays is associated with.
		Under international rules, fl's position in the diagram on the left is a win, but under the Thai demotion rule, white wins by 1.

	The Game of Draughts
		A draughts board was found in the grave of the famous Egyptian king Tutankhamun, living in the 14th century B.C., that was discovered in 1922 by the English archeologist Howard Carter.
		The first 'international' tournaments were held at the end of the 19th century, in the beginning only in France and the contenders were mainly French.
		The next championship was won in 1958 by a Soviet player and this started a period in which the French role was more or less taken over by the Soviet Union (later Russia) with the world champions up till now coming from either Holland or Russia (or one of the fomer Soviet republics).

	Buy Draughts / Checkers sets
		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.

	Games of Kings and Soldiers - CHECKERS
		The rules of Draughts (American Checkers) apply except: the game is played on an enlarged board where the extra external cells can only be occupied via a capturing move.
		The rules of International Checkers apply except: a piece can only move or capture if it is orthogonally adjacent to another friendly piece, the subsequent cells of multiple captures are not affected by this rule.
		Chip, by K. Franklin in 2002, uses the same setup and rules of English Draughts except: (a) the captured pieces are not removed, instead they change color (became friendly pieces); (b) A player wins by getting 6 Kings or reducing the adversary to less than 6 soldiers.
