It is thought that the earliest form of checkers was a game discovered in an archeological dig at Ur in Iraq. Carbon dating makes it appear that this game was played around 3000 B.C. However, the game used a slightly different board, a different number of pieces and no one is quite certain of the exact rules. In Ancient Egypt a game called Alquerque, which had a 5X5 board was a common and much played game. Historians have traced it as far back as 1400 B.C. It was a game of such popularity that it was played all over the western world for thousands of years. Around 1100 a Frenchman got the idea of playing the game on a chess board. This meant expanding the number of pieces to 12 on a side. It was then called "Fierges" or "Ferses". It was soon found that making jumps mandatory made the game more challenging. The French called this version "Jeu Force". The older version was considered more of a social game for women and was called "Le Jeu Plaisant De Dames". Now the rules for checkers were set and the game was exported to England and America. In Great Britain the game was called "Draughts". Books were written on the game in Spain as early as the mid 1500s and in England a mathematician name William Payne wrote his own treatise on Draughts in 1756. Over the years, many countries developed their own version of checkers/draughts and adjusted the rules, board size and color of pieces. They all share the same principal of rules, but added new rules or modified existing ones. In Checkers and Draughts you find a variety of different checkers/draught games from all over the world. You can play the games either against the computer, other playes on the same device or you can connect to other devices (iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad) through the bluetooth connection and play against players on other devices.

Le niveau n est pas terrible mais conviendrait aux joueurs occasionnels. Ce qui est insupportable c est la jouabilité; c est un enfer pour déplacer les pions; vous trouverez bien mieux au même prix

Mir gefällt es super ;: )

Master Lu-Fu · 14 years ago · v1.4

Endlich mal so richtig viele Regel-Varianten wie man sich nur wünschen kann !!! Genial : )

Good app

__%%__ · 15 years ago

The only flaw is the game script is hard read (just a little). A selection of piece styles would be nice.

Keep crashing, buggy logic

eBoulanger · 13 years ago · v1.4.2

This game would be nice if it was not crashing every four or five moves on my iPad 2. It also crashed when you navigate the menus (asking for the Rules is a sure way to crash the application). At least the game remember the last position you were so you do not have to restart your game from the beginning. But frankly, the crashing issue is really annoying. I even bought an add-on thinking that removing the add from the free version would correct the problem. No chance. The logic is also very buggy. Under some condition, the application declares a draw when the player is winning. For example, only two kings are left on the board and the player is in a position to capture the AI piece. A draw will be declared. On the plus side, the graphics are nice and there is different type of checkers that you can play. But because of the issues which I considered very important, I recommend to wait for a version that corrects them before buying this products. UPDATED: I also found out that when you increased difficulty, the crashes occur more often.

Шашки

Русские шашки все время вылетают при на сложном уровне. Зря купил ((

Хорошо сделано, но иногда вылетает

kh0nt · 14 years ago · v1.4

При игре в русские шашки программа вылетает, но позиция сохраняется. В целом программа производит хорошее впечатление. Нужен русский язык.

Loved this game!
