HELLO FALCO — can you fix the AI so this plays by the rules. I’ll then give it another try. Thanks.

This is truly a crappy game, as you have to turn off all the animations and music and shadows and stuff to get it to work. Then when I selected a piece after several moves, it did not show me anywhere that I could move. So I finally selected a piece where I could jump backwards and it was NOT a king yet. I know for a fact that this is NOT the correct way to play checkers.
So a definite thumbs down for me and I have uninstalled it and removed all of it to the trash bin.

James,
Try turning off all the options you can, like animation, etc. That appears to be the only way it works for me.

I tried to download this program from the original website, but my NOD antivirus told me that this program is infected!!! So I don´t know if the Giveaway-Version is also infected? Who had the same experience?

For those saying the game crashes, run it under compatibility for Win 95. Works for me with those settings on Vista 32-bit

I’ve got to agree with you Russ, this really is a dull checkers game, or less politely a dumb game. I played it for about an hour to see if the A.I. coud beat me. I’m not the most switched on guy with all the opiates coursing through my veins, but it was way too easy to win all the time.

With a large improvment in the AI and maybe modes to include all the various forms of the game, this could be a really good game; as it stands at the moment it needs a lot more work before I’d consider buying it. I used to play draughts as a child with the rules allowing you not to take a piece if you so desired.

I’d love to see a good Chinese Chequers game, but if the AI is similar to this game it’s not going to be much of a challenge.

This game has some crappy game play. I love checkers a lot! I was really hoping this thing would be a challenge.

I experienced the forced backwards movement… blew me away and pissed me off as I was just about to be ‘kinged’.

There was also some crazy move where my King had to jump 3 spots to jump someone. If that wasn’t enough, after I was forced to act like Superman with the checker piece, a piece from the computers side moved sideways 2 spots to take the place of the piece.

I feel like I am playing checkers with a 3 year old who makes their own rules as gameplay continues.

Avoid this at all costs!!! The rules are warped!
