Excellent game with one exception. First, other complaints about having to jump pieces are flawed because the rules of checkers are that you must jump if able. That's what makes the game. However, the rules also say that if you cannot move you lose. The code has a tendency (when losing) to play for positions where it cannot move, thinking that this is a draw. Other than that, this game is great.

Great game! It's set up so that if you can jump a piece, you have to jump. It makes for a challenging and addictive game. Ability to step backward and forward thru game is great feature.

The game is good, but it sucks that you have to move where the palm tells you to move even when there is another move available.

Nice game. but just one problem, when the computer moves so you can jump a peice the game forces you to move there even if you don't want to. Using palm m105.

I have no problem using this game - instructions are given! Small footprint makes it ideal for lower end Palms without much memory (e.g. M100) - well done. Any chance of a color version soon??

Nice checkers game. Draughts are for 10x10 game, Checkers is 8x8. The best freeware game for draughts (and for Palm) is "Dam" from Harm Jetten.

This is really hard to work. It took me three new games to finally figure it out. The game of checkers is fun, but I get tired of playing this. Some kids just wanna play checkers without practically playing for the opponent.

Seemed easy to use...played an entire game first try.

Only briefly tried this and it is not very obvious how to get it to play past a couple of moves. However once you have done this it plays a reasonable game. I would have rated it higher if it wasn't so akward to get it to play.

This looks like it will eventually be fun, for now -- I can't use it. I was unable to get beyond the first pair of moves. Trying an "illegal" move (to see if I could get a hint of what I was doing wrong) caused my Visor Neo to reset.
