Are there more draughts(checkers) players on here than chess players ?

Season after season of drivel, it's wearing. As for Sunday, that second half performance was exactly performance that lead to Silva sacking, typified by the not very mobile or as intense as sloth waking up Gilfy and Morgan.

You are allowed to think more than one move ahead when playing draughts, mate. In fact it would help your game.

Why did you put checkers in brackets? Who even calls it that. Wools.

Pretty bad post mate, in all fairness - but everyone should know about the draughts champion Marion Tinsley. Arguably the greatest player of any sport or game in the twentieth century. Beat the computer chinook in 1990 playing the white doctor opening and forced a mistake on move ten (declaring 'you're going to regret that') - computer resigned on move 36. The play indicated Tinsley had seen 64 moves into the future.
