Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Checker Player I have frequently been asked Which is the deepest game, checkers or chess? To which I have replied, In one respect they are just alike, both being unfathomable and beyond the com prehension of the human mind. The game of checkers, as an intellectual pastime, has no supe rior. It causes the rich and poor to intermingle in the most friendly manner capital and labor are Often seen struggling across the board in the most social style. Esteem and friendships spring up between devotees of the game, both far and near. It was claimed by some that the playing of checkers is condu cive to longevity. Judging from the long lives of some of the Buffalo players, I must admit that such is the case. Here is my old friend L. L. Hodges, with whom I played many a game forty years ago and since, and now at the age of eighty nine he plays a few hours nearly every afternoon. Mr. Hodges commenced playing at the age of ten years, and at fifteen was probably the best player in this country, and for many years was not excelled by any player in the United States, and I have no doubt he is now the strongest player of his age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ellsworth's Checker Book Ellsworth played a merciless game, however poor a player his opponent might be. He always took the strongest move he could find, and thus commanded the admiration of the public and held the respect of experts. When he succeeded in gaining an advantage, either in position or in number of pieces, his play was admirable. No careless or brilliant if sound moves were made by him, but he would proceed to tie up his adversary in the most effective way, not overlooking any exchange that would shorten the contest or increase the decisiveness or completeness of his victory. When novices com plained of his ungenerous tactics, he would quietly reply that he was playing checkers and was not familiar with parlor amusements. His regular customers stuck to him persistently because he would not let them beat him if he could help it. Owing to the great amount and variety of his practice, he was an exceedingly strong end game player. He could see (or feel, for he quickly ran over the board with his hands after each play) a familiar ending coming up long before it took form to the ordi nary player.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Checkers The oldest game in the world is draughts or, as we Americans term it, checkers. Historians tell us that the game was played in one form or another hundreds of years before Christ. The principle of the game is very simple, but to play it well is quite the reverse. My purpose in writing this book is to give the young player some idea of how to conduct a game of checkers in a way which will get him into the habit of making good moves, thus avoiding the glaring mistakes common among all beginners. Some students have a natural checker talent. They become good players without the aid of a book, through experience, but when they at last take up the book moves, coupled with their natural ability, they develop into brilliant exponents of the mental pastime. My advice, therefore, to the student is to get the good move habit first and you will save much valuable time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forced Checkers For many years the writer has thought that a checker compilation on forced lines, would enable the beginner to get away to a better start. The average player will spend twenty years selecting certain lines, and meanwhile he has delved into so many variations which fill his mind to 'such an extent that he has no brain space left for strong lines of play. I believe the reader will agree with me when I state that there is a limit to the human brain. Otherwise a world's champion would never lose a game. It took the writer twenty-five years to collect these games, which have been selected from all sources and I have given credit as near as possible. If the reader will concentrate on these lines and not allow himself to be sidetracked on other lines, he will soon be able to hold his own with very good players. Do not try to solve problems, but commit them to memory, at least one end-game problem daily. The play is arranged so that the student will have a nucleus to build on when ready to branch into two-move style of play.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group biography of seven enduring and beloved games, and the story of why—and how—we play them. Checkers, backgammon, chess, and Go. Poker, Scrabble, and bridge. These seven games, ancient and modern, fascinate millions of people worldwide. In Seven Games, Oliver Roeder charts their origins and historical importance, the delightful arcana of their rules, and the ways their design makes them pleasurable. Roeder introduces thrilling competitors, such as evangelical minister Marion Tinsley, who across forty years lost only three games of checkers; Shusai, the Master, the last Go champion of imperial Japan, defending tradition against “modern rationalism”; and an IBM engineer who created a backgammon program so capable at self-learning that NASA used it on the space shuttle. He delves into the history and lore of each game: backgammon boards in ancient Egypt, the Indian origins of chess, how certain shells from a particular beach in Japan make the finest white Go stones. Beyond the cultural and personal stories, Roeder explores why games, seemingly trivial pastimes, speak so deeply to the human soul. He introduces an early philosopher of games, the aptly named Bernard Suits, and visits an Oxford cosmologist who has perfected a computer that can effectively play bridge, a game as complicated as human language itself. Throughout, Roeder tells the compelling story of how humans, pursuing scientific glory and competitive advantage, have invented AI programs better than any human player, and what that means for the games—and for us. Funny, fascinating, and profound, Seven Games is a story of obsession, psychology, history, and how play makes us human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles With the Switcher: An Opening in the Game of Checkers There are three classes of checker players: the knownothings, the knowalls, and the doubters. Another way to name these classes is to call them novices, cracker barrel champions, and experts. The reason for believing that experts may be not improperly called doubters is that they are accustomed to finding old proof upset by new proof. They are eternally searching for holes in proof. There is, of course, some absolute finality in every position of the pieces the board can show; but the secrets of the mystic squares are guarded by seductive forms of delusion and hallucination. Perhaps it is on this account that the obnoxious pronoun, I, is commonly used in checker diction not as a sign of self-sufficiency but of humbleness.
