Challenging new game by Absolutist for all fans of board games. Either you need some training for your logic and strategical skills, or you are in need of some rest, this game will be a perfect pastime for you. Play wonderful Checkers Challenge everywhere on your Macintosh. The game is played on a board with dark and light squares, arranged in an 8x8 grid. Each player sets his 12 pieces on his side of the board in three ranks on dark checks. Checkers is played on the dark squares only. The players move one piece at one turn. The pieces may be moved diagonally. A piece can only be moved forward. If one of your pieces is next to the opponent's piece and the square beyond it is free, you are required to jump over the opponent's piece. The opponent's piece is then removed from the board. It is possible to jump many times in a row with the same piece, capturing several of your opponent's pieces. The squares placed in the last row on the opposite side of the board are King squares. If a piece reaches the far end of the board, then it becomes a king. The king is allowed to move and jump diagonally backwards and forwards. Kings can be captured like any other pieces. The game lasts until all of the opponent's pieces are captured, or are blocked so that they cannot make a move. The player who loses all the checkers or has them blocked loses the game. MAIN FEATURES * two player's mode * game autosave on exit * demo mode with advanced AI engine * various sound and animation effects

Oh dear: Reading their 'About Us' page, linked below, it's evident that 'they' are NOT masters of English grammar. Ahem! So, much as their grammar is superior to the average Chinese English speaker, it's NOT professional quality. Therefore, I cannot recommend this application. If 'they' can't use it to provide them with perfect grammar, you aren't going to either. That's a shame as I was very enthusiastic to try this out.Examples of bad grammar on their 'About Us' web page:- 'We are a University of Cambridge spin-out, specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies. [Remove the comma. Also, the developers may have an association with the University of Cambridge, UK, but they are NOT native speakers of English. That is clear.]- 'We are not a big team, at least not yet, but we want to deliver automated proofreading service differently:' [The correct word would be 'services'. The sentence is also incoherent with no connecting cause and effect.]- 'Frankly speaking, no grammar checker on the market previously is worth your money.' [This sentence has bad syntax. This is less confusing syntax: 'no grammar checker previously on the market is worth your money']- 'It is beyond our imagination that some grammar checkers only update once or twice a year.' [This sentence approaches incoherence. Replace 'that' with 'why'.]And so forth. Their grammar is better than 'ChingLish' but it's not proper English. Oh well.http://www.1checker.com/About/Companyinfo
