Checkers Coach

Checkers Coach teaches you checkers (American checkers, also called English draughts), from how the pieces move to the shots, endings and openings strong players rely on, and gives you an opponent at your level.

LEARN ON THE BOARD

• 201 interactive lessons in 21 courses, from the rules to classic problems: the basics, basic tactics, named shots, kings and corners, "the move" and timing, formations, midgame themes, the famous named positions, bridges, drawing a man down, king endings, opening traps, the named openings, and lessons from real championship games

• Every lesson is hands-on: find the move, play the line, and the board answers

AN OPPONENT THAT FITS YOU

• 40 calibrated levels in four tiers: Beginner, Improving, Strong and Expert, each level a small step up from the one before

• The engine runs entirely on your device

• Play Black, White or a random side, or two players on one device

A COACH WHILE YOU PLAY

• Switch the tutor on to preview a move and see what it does before you commit it: whether it is strong, fine or costly, and what would be stronger

• Ask for a hint when you are stuck

REVIEW EVERY GAME

• Every move is graded: inaccuracies, mistakes and blunders are marked, with a plain explanation of what went wrong (the shot you allowed, the man you left hanging, the trap you walked into) and a better move

• Show only your own mistakes, and get an accuracy score for every game

• With five pieces or fewer on the board the answers are exact: the app carries an endgame database that knows the result of every such position

IN FIVE LANGUAGES

The app and every lesson are in English, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文 and 繁體中文.
