Starting Out in Checkers

Checkers (known as Draughts in the UK) is perhaps the world's best known board game with its history being traced back more than 3,500 years. The attraction of the game is that, despite the great simplicity of the rules, highly complex play can result. In this user-friendly introduction to the game, Checkers grandmaster Richard Pask provides newcomers to the game with a thorough grounding in the essentials of play.
