BRILLIANCIES IN CHECKERS AND DRAUGHT

Recorded on June 10, 2012 using a Flip Video camera. The first game played by Charles F. Barker (red) and James P. Reed (white) In 1889. The second game red is Walter Hellman, famous star of Gary, Indiana vs F.W. Kitchell, Pennsylvania expert in the celebrated "Steel Stroke". The third example Red is Willie Ryan vs Newell W. Banks. These is one of the games for the Blindfold Championship of the World won by Banks at Elizabeth, Pennsylvania in 1937. From "Learn Checkers Fast" by Tom Wiswell.

    Thank you! I think that is a very good idea. I just need to get a little more time. I been practicing for a National Tournament the end of July and I'm hoping I can go there and that i'm ready. I hope all is well with you. Thanks again for your kind words.

    Hi! I just wanted to thank you for the amazing videos! I love checkers but always have problems trapping my opponent. These videos are very helpful, I'll keep on watching so I can learn more! Keep up the great job! :)

    3:13 white had 3 different combination that would end with the same result, I saw the one you didn't show, probably because I play it most of the time, white 31 to 27, red 22 to 31, white 23 to 18, red 31 to 24, white 28 to 3

    Hello! You can get a checker set at the "American Checker Federation". I also got one from a store that sells Chess equipment. If you check out "The Checker Maven" by Bob Newell he had a very good article on checker boards and pieces. Let me know how you do and anything else please let me know. George

    +CYRUS GRAHAM Hi Cyrus! Thank you for your question. I don't know of any apps for master games preloaded, i do see them for the games of chess. However the program Checker Gold by Al Lyman has games of many Grandmasters which as you touch the buttons plays the games along and also explains many of the moves. The site "The Checker Maven" by Mr. Bob Newell has many free up loads of games and of books. He also might be able to answer your question because of his research and his great work in Checkers and Draughts. I hope this is helpful. Your Friend In Checkers, George

    Quinton Checkers Thank you Quinton! The opening move 1. 10-14 is part of the Denny family moves just like you said, the opening move starting 1. 10-15 is the Kelso family of moves. I do get them mixed up from time to time and i appreciate your comments. The "Denny" was named after a town that Mr. Drummond lived for a long time. Thanks again.
