SCREENSHOTS
DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game Checkers for Android.
Checkers for Android (draughts) consists of an 8x8 checkers engine and a GUI. The application accepts moves through the touch screen or trackball. An optional "move coach" shows all valid user moves and highlights each last played move. Full game navigation enables users to correct mistakes or analyze games. Games import and export as FEN/PDN to and from the clipboard or via sharing, or are set up through a position editor. The engine plays at various levels (including random and free-play). By popular request, an option was added to select between mandatory captures (the official rule) or optional captures (a common home rule, but without "huffing", where the piece that should have performed the capture is forfeited; instead the game simply continues). The user can play either side and, independently, view the board from the perspective of white or black.
The application connects to an external electronic checkers board (Certabo).

Thank you for this excellent Checkers app. I really appreciate the Ads free play. One of the best features is the option to view from the black/white perspectives. Can you please add feature to highlight the last move? As mentioned in other reviews, the AI engine plays too strong. I'll just have to keep on trying to improve using the Random first moves. Thanks!
`Excellent checkers game, especially the "Position Setup" feature, it's very good to practice from books. can you please add another variant of the game such as Russian or Pool Rules. Thank you.`,The game's interface is minimalist and fresh. I'm not too interested in CPUs/AIs in checkers, so I won't comment on that. However, I value multilayer mode. One suggestion: Slow down the animations. Because of the high speed of the animations, when introducing checkers to people, I'm stuck having to explain why a piece just seemingly teleported horizontally across the board, disappearing with a handful of pieces. Otherwise, allow players to input every jump till the end of the jump sequence.
No fun for me unfortunately, because it's too difficult at any of the intelligent levels - computer way ahead - or too easy at random. Could it be easier in the first levels with more limits to the AI as to avoid the strategy of jumping many pieces in a single move for example etc?
Checkers game is playing faulty purposely and I do not know why because it has been playing hlgh Checkers all along but now it doesn't even doing the jumps and it is boring !! Hugs"
