How to Win at Checkers, How to Beat Grandad at Checkers, Play Winning Checkers<\/em>. These are the titles of just a few of the books from Alfred C. Darrow\u2019s checkers library, which recently found a new home at The Strong Museum. The literature covers every aspect of playing a winning game, even How to Lose at Checkers<\/em>, as it turned out. In my survey of Mr. Darrow\u2019s vast collection, I discovered that I knew nothing about how to win\u2014or lose\u2014at checkers. Simply put, a player loses at checkers if they can\u2019t make a move on their turn. You may find yourself in this situation after making a wrong move or falling for an opponent\u2019s trap. Breaking any of the rules of checkers may cause you to have to forfeit the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are like me and many of my colleagues at The Strong, you probably haven\u2019t thought about the rules of checkers since childhood. In the early days of my checkers studies, my team\u2019s collective world view shifted upon learning that if you are in the position to jump an opponent\u2019s piece, you are required to jump the piece. This fundamental aspect of the game had never been enforced by parents, teachers, or fellow children. Many historic school yard matchups were subject to the players\u2019 invented, and arguable, rules. The games were after all just for fun, not to be taken too seriously. But for tournament checkers players, the rules are set and are the final authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the 24 \u201cStandard Laws in the Game of Draughts,\u201d listed in Anderson\u2019s second edition of The Scottish Draught Player<\/em>, a player can lose at checkers by taking too long to make a move, touching the wrong piece at the wrong time, moving a piece in the wrong direction, or even, as I was delighted to discover, doing \u201canything which may tend to either annoy or distract the attention of the player.\u201d Yes, that\u2019s right, annoying your opponent is against the rules of checkers. This includes, but is not limited to, \u201cpointing or hovering over the board,\u201d and \u201cunnecessarily delaying to move a piece touched.\u201d (Could somebody please inform my gaming group of this rule?)<\/p>\n\n\n

Now that I\u2019ve straightened out checkers rules for you, let me tell you about one of the foremost checkers players of the 20th century, Marion Tinsley. Tinsley was so good at checkers that he is reported to have only lost seven times during his decades-long career. He gained a reputation as being unbeatable, and other checkers players aspired to a drawn game against him. For Tinsley, however, winning all the time became a bit boring. He even took a 12-year hiatus from playing at one point due to lack of competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1990, an up-and-coming new player entered the competitive checkers world: Chinook<\/a>, a computer program developed at the University of Alberta. Chinook was programmed to play for the win, seeking out interesting variations backed by algorithms and a database of grandmasters\u2019 opening moves, end-game positions, and known losing positions. In comparison with human players who tended to play cautiously, especially against Tinsley, the program was the greater risk-taker. In 1992, Chinook played Tinsley in a 40-game match for the World Checkers Championship and lost<\/p>\n\n\n

Through its games with Tinsley, other human opponents, and copies of itself, Chinook continued to learn how each position would play out to a win, lose, or draw. Chinook and its developers used this experience to finally solve checkers\u2014\u201csolved\u201d meaning that they could correctly predict the outcome of every possible move, assuming both players play perfectly. With that in consideration, perhaps it is now time to find an opponent and start a game of checkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
