	Checkers: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Checkers, internationally known as draughts, is the name of a group of board games where the object is to capture enemy pieces by jumping over them.
		In international draughts (or international checkers), the board is 10x10 with 20 pieces each, and the kings move as far as they want on diagonals.
		In Turkish checkers pieces move straight forwards or sideways, kings moving like a rook in chess, so that both red and fl squares are used.

	Pool checkers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pool checkers, also called "American pool checkers", is a variant of draughts, mainly played in the southeastern United States.
		As in the related game English draughts (also known as American checkers or straight checkers), the game is played on an 8x8 board with the double corner (corner without a checker) to each players right.
		One difference from the rules of English checkers is that a piece may move both forward and backward.

		Pool checkers, also known as Spanish pool checkers, 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 and white.
		Single checkers, known as men, move forward only, one square at a time in a diagonal direction, to an unoccupied square.
		Whenever a situation arises in which one player has three kings and the other one king, no other checkers remaining on the board, a count is begun of the moves made by the lone king.

		There's Give-away Checkers, which, in French, is called something like "who wins loses." Which, it turns out, is a variation that you can use in any of the many other classic variations.
		For example, there's International Checkers which is played just like American checkers, except on a 10x10-square checkerboard, which, it turns out, is just different enough to require some serious re-strategizing.
		Pyramid Checkers, which can be played on any board with any of the above variations, begins with the checkers set up like a, well, one might say "pyramid." Whilst, in Turkish Checkers, pieces are placed on the second and third, sixth and seventh rows, using every square in those rows (fl and red).

		Exactly the same rules as Brazilian checkers, but if there are many sequences to capture, you have to capture the sequence that has the most pieces.
		Exactly the same rules as pool checkers, but if a man touches the kings row from a jump and it can continue to jump backwards, it have to jump backwards as kings, not men.
		People who play checkers that way also doesn’t know how to learn checkers tactics and strategies, because they never played checkers that way to learn more tactics by losing, so they are not very good at it.

	Games of Kings and Soldiers - CHECKERS
		Killer Checkers are a way to minimize this by making the following restriction over Kings' capture range: if the last captured stone is a King, the captor must stop at the immediate next cell after the last jumped stone.
		At this time, French checkers used a 8x8 board (now it is a 10x10 one), and the rules were very similar to pool (depending on the regions, but often using maximum capture compulsory).
		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.

	Origin Of Checkers-Druaghts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		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.

	CHECKERS MAIN PAGE
		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.
		On my page, Pool Checkers - Play, there are instructions on winning with three kings against one, and an interesting endgame problem for you to try to solve.
