I agree an amazing game. i know a lot of players who play in their 70,80 and 90 and they are very competitive. I think the age from 4 to 97 is what i have seen. Keep on playing and having fun. Thank you for your very good comment.
Hi Joe! The size of the pieces i have is 1 1/4 but 1 1/2 also I think is good for 2" squares. It all depends what you like. Bob Newell's "The Checker Maven" i believe has a article on the checker sizes and boards. You might want to check there also. The ACF store. American Checker Federation has both pieces and boards. You also can find the pool checkers on Amazon and usually in stores that sell Chess equipment. I hope this is helpful. George
checkercycle . Thank you George! Are the pieces you are using on this board the 1 1/4" pieces? They look perfect. ACF store only has "regular" 1 1/4" pieces right now, not the "pool" 1 1/2" size.
Joe, the pieces are 1 1/4 " and the board is 2" square. The pieces are made by Crisloid co. of Providence, Rhode Island. I just checked out "The Checker Maven" and i saw a set that looked like the one i used but the pieces looked like the 1 1/2 " size. Just incase you want to get an idea. I have a few different boards and pieces. Some larger with the larger boards.
Actually. On vs Computer games, the rule is red must stop at crown giving white a move and opportunity to cover up or at very least get in position to draw.
Very deceptive sequence of moves, which is nice, I feel like against many players it would give a false sense of security thus allowing you to go in for the kill. But it also seems very risky, like at your first demo match if I were white, what if I saw that last trigger you setup and knew not to take the bait?
First! Checkercycle, never stop doing your thing. This is what RUclips should be all about. You have a passion for this game, and I love watching it.
Checkers is such an amazing game. I regret not having discovered it's wonders, early in my life.

Can you please do a strategy on International Checkers?
There is no way on earth I could remember this and plan so carefully ahead of time.
Thank you Irma!
Hi George have missed you and your videos!!!!! Luke
Thank you Luke! I'm back. I hope all is well!!
Can I ask you what size pieces those are? The board appears to have 2" squares. Are those Pool checkers at 1 1/2 inch diameter?

I bought the regular size pieces and have a board from the WCDF.

I've been playing online and two sites do not apply force jump to the back row. Why?
What happened in 5:28? Something went wrong behind the camera?
Wow...
