FREE DVD or CD Testimonials 100% Genuine Feedback Just a quick note of appreciation. I'm using your software for a student I teach who has many learning difficulties, but he is thrilled (and motivated) to be working with your software. Please continue the excellent work, and best of luck going forward. Ed, Canada. We are a homeschool family and we have been using your site for nearly 10 months now...we think you're great! Keep up the fantastic work you do! Warmest Regards Sarah, New Zealand I have been using your programs for years now and am really glad for a chance to say how FAB they are. They are better than any other I've found for educational purposes and a fraction of the price. All the kids who have used them at my school LOVE them and I think you are a very very clever man!!

Classic game where you can play against an opponent or the computer. You can have quite a reasonable game against the computer but please remember that I am not a huge software company so tactically the computer in my game is not brilliant but it's not stupid either, so quite a good game can be had. The program includes an uninstall facility. Compressed file size - 544 KB. For help with downloading and installing, click here How To Play For the purposes of this game and the fact I am from England, I will use the word draughts here as opposed to checkers. As far as I can make out, the games are identical if you are talking about the one played on a standard English 64 square board. On the first screen you get to choose the game you would like to play by clicking one of the buttons shown, which are a One Player Game Against Computer and a A Single PC, Two Player Game. On the Single player against the computer game you get an extra screen to choose whether you want to play with white or red pieces (red normally being the one that goes first). To move a piece, click once on it and a set of arrows will appear pointing diagonally left and right. You will then find that your mouse pointer will turn into a hand over any vacant square, one space diagonally left or right. If you can take an opponent's draught you will find that your mouse pointer turns into a hand one space beyond them. To move your draught, click on the square you want to move to. Basic Rules The object of draughts is to capture all your opponent's pieces, or to prevent your opponent from being able to move any of their pieces. The game is played on the dark squares of the board only. Two players each have a set of 12 pieces called draughts. You can choose whether to play white or red with red normally going first. Single pieces may only move diagonally forward one space on any dark square that is not occupied by another draught. To take an opponent's draught, it must be next to yours diagonally and have an empty space in the next square in the same line, so that you literally jump straight over it. The opponent's draught is then removed from the board and will appear at the side as a captured draught. In the standard game, you MUST jump and take an opponent's draught whenever possible (or when the opportunity arises). If after taking a draught you can continue to jump and take more draughts then you must do so. Single draughts can take an opponent's draught only in the forward direction. When your draught reaches the back line of your opponent's side of the board, that piece is made a King. In my game this is shown as a crown symbol on the draught. Kings can move diagonally forwards and backwards. They can only move one square at a time like a single draught, except when taking, which they can also do, forwards or backwards, diagonally. Single draughts can capture kings. If you find that you cannot move any of your pieces or you wish to resign then click the Resign button. This will start a new game and add one to your opponent's score. Grey Olltwit Educational Games Home Page

FREE DVD or CD Testimonials 100% Genuine Feedback Thanks for the TERRIFIC software at a great price! Suzanne, USA I've been a happy Olltwit user for years - I downloaded several of your programs back in '04, for my older son to use. Now it's time for my younger son to use them, and I've come back to your site to find 1) I owe you, and 2) you have more great stuff. I'm happy to pay up because I know the quality of your programs.
