Juri Anikejev heeft een paar jaar geleden op het computer subforum een Killer Light variant voorgesteld: bij meervoudige slagen moet je stoppen als laatste stuk een dam is. 2 tegen 1 is remise, 3 tegen 1 en post-Schouppe winnen wel. http://laatste.info/bb3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6688 http://laatste.inf...

It looks really awesome, but why isn't stacking the pieces a viable solution? Or do you need a weight sensor for that?

LGTM! I think it's a shame that your wonderful Android work gets so little attention. OTOH, we're mostly 10x10 programmers, so if you ever get around to making a 10x10 GUI that can load engines (as you did for chess) then I think there'd be quite a bit more response. Keep up the good work!

Sorry I made a mistake by clicking the "Report this post" button instead of "Post a reply", moderation please ignore my mistake. I just want to report a little difference for spanish checkers, all numbers confirmed until depth 11. But starting from depth 12 I have: perft(12) 365,728,331 perft(13) 1...

Voor het eerst sinds Gantwarg-Wiersma 1981 wint een Nederlander weer eens een match van een ”Rus". Daarna nog Wiersma-Wirny (=), Gantwarg-Clerc (-), Tsjizjow-Sijbrands (=), Tsjizjow-Wiersma (-) en herkamp Tsjizjow-Clerc (-).

Hi, I am looking for buying a new computor and I would like to try to use the BMI1, BMI2 and TBM instructions. In this context can you help me on the two folllowing questions: 1) Do you know if Intel Core i9 8950HK supports these instructions ? 2) I am using Visual Studio 2008. What Visual Studio v...

See if you like it. The checkers app is soon to follow! I am rolling out a new version of Checkers for Android with: Use of parentheses for alternating moves Slightly nicer layout of columns Slightly improved display while navigating Ability to export game to clipboard or sharing as PDN (portable d...

And I seem to recall that your chess app has much more functionality than checkers (endgame dbs pluggable engines e.g.), is that something you'd consider for checkers? And dare I ask if 10x10 draughts is in the cards? All requests duly noted! I have been on the fence on adding third party engine an...

It works, thanks! Some tips: as a user I expect the printed moves to be clickable / scrollable, to quickly navigate the variation tree. Is that hard to add? Also, could you add either the move number (I.e. 1. 10-14 22-18 2. 6-10 etc.), or e.g. add parentheses around the 2nd player’s moves: 10-14 (2...

Hi Aart, Just installed it on my Android 8.0 phone. I don't see move history, and only one move-back button. What gives? Thanks for your interest Rein! I did a gradual roll-out of the new feature. It is at 100% now, so you should get an update soon. Please let me know if you find any bugs (other th...

It has been a while, but I recently added something to Checkers for Android I had been planning for a long time: a notation window and full game navigation, similar to my chess app (and recently also the reversi app). No more artificial restrictions on the undo, one can simply go back and forth in ...

van http://www.friesdammen.nl/dam/page3.php?articleID=260 Concurrentie voor Lusoris? Maar wellicht dat Rein nu ook al een speelbare versie heeft? Yes and no. I have a Frisian move generator which knows all the rules except the maximum of 3 consecutive king moves. (I also don't have implemented yet ...

Ik heb Sijbrands of Prosman nog nooit op een brancard afgevoerd zien worden. (Wellicht dat sommige tegenstanders wel hebben moeten opgeven met uitputtingsverschijnselen).

Het beslissende fragment: Toch erg jammer. Het "haakje" 5-10 is niet heel moeilijk, en de overige witte schijven stonden op "verbonden" velden, dus dat de stand combinatiegevoelig was, was wel logisch (wit had zelf ook zulke opties). In een tv filmpje zei Georgiev al dat hij continu combinaties moe...
