he learned it. He wondered if I knew its origin. No.
It is played on a regulat checkerboard using 12 checkers
of two colors. Pieces are set up in the usual manner and
moves are the same. When a piece is jumped it is carried
along on the underside of the jumping piece or stack. If
a stack is jumped the top piece only is carried along. If
the top two or more pcs. in a stack are the same color that
stack has the movement of a "king". A player may not
jump over a pc. of his own color or a stack topped by his
color. Jumps are compulsory as in CHECKERS. The game is
over as soon as any pc. or stack reaches the opposite row.
(What happens if it is a "king" and there is a compulsory
jump out of the row?)
Played a game with Issy and he beat me quickly. Then
I beat Claude.
Forgot to give Claude his ECLIPSE model and the check
for EXECUTIVE DECISION.
