DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game Dama - Turkish Checkers.
Turkish Checkers (also known as Dama) is a variant of draughts played in Turkey.
On an 8x8 board, 16 men are lined up on each side, in two rows, skipping the furthest back. Men can move forward or sideways one square, capturing by means of a jump. When a man reaches the back row, he is promoted to a king at the end of the move. Kings may move any number of squares forwards or sideways, capturing by jumping over any piece and landing in any square within permissible path beyond said piece.
The object is to capture all your opponent's pieces, or to reduce your opponent to not being able to make any move with the pieces he has remaining on the board.
Basic Rules:
A single man captures in any of the same 3 directions.
A king captures by jumping to a vacant square beyond an adverse piece, any distance away.
A single man or a king must continue jumping as long as possible.
With choice of captures, the player must take the maximum number of adverse pieces.
Within a multi capture turning 180 degrees between two captures is illegal.
Each captured piece is removed from the board before the captor continues jumping; its removal may therefore open up additional captures previously impossible.

A year ago, when I played this on hard it wasn't as smart. They really improved the algorithms. Sometimes I get shocked at how well the computer plays. Other times it repeats itself but that is when chips are low and it does the best move it can. so I reset it because the AI and I would be too stubborn to play differently. I am very impressed at how well the algorithms are in this game. Very intelligent programmers.
The concept is well made, but their is a major bug. Just before a opponent piece becomes king, the piece does a two space jump to the promotion area. The opponent piece does a 3 spaces jump if i'm blocking the way to the promotion area. (Jumps one, then jumps to eat, then jumps to promotion area, all in one turn).
I like it. No frills, and it's challenging enough on Hard mode to not be boring.
Opponent repeats the same move when you start planning.... This is shiiitt
