DYNAMO DRAUGHTS

DYNAMO PRO is a powerful draughts program that can play no less than 7 checker variants from around the world! These are: International 10x10 Draughts, American Pool, Spanish and Russian, Canadian 12x12, Portugese and Brazilian. DYNAMO uses the latest Artificial Intelligence tree-search methods to achieve master-level performance in these games - indeed many of the Worlds top players use DYNAMO to assist in analysis and training. DYNAMO is one of the strongest available draughts program, equaling or out-playing other competing computer programs. If you are new to these variants then DYNAMO is an excellent way to learn about them - you can let your PC tutor you and provide a sparring partner, then annotate and store your games, and replay them at a later date - just like a video player! You can set-up and edit your own problem positions for analysis. When thinking about a move, DYNAMO can analyse thousands of board positions per second, however speed is not everything, and DYNAMO has been programmed by someone with an understanding of the game, and can make good moves based on that analysis. Beginners will be pleased to hear that DYNAMO can be set to a wide range of play-levels, including one for learners! If you already know how to play 10x10 draughts, here is a little test problem that demonstrates DYNAMO's abilities, with White to move and win:-

White : 16,21,25,32,37,38,41,42,45,46,49,50
Black : 8,9,12,17,18,19,26,29,30,33,34,35,36

DYNAMO sees the 24 move solution in just a few seconds, and plays:- 49-44!, 36-47, 46-41, 47-36, 32-27, 36-22, 37-31, 26-37-48, 44-39, 34-43-32, 25-34-23-14-3, 17-26, 45-40, 35-44, 50-39-28-17, 12-21, 3-12, 12-23, 23-37, 48-31, 16-27, 27-36, 26-31, 36-27 and White wins.

How long would that take you to solve? Of course DYNAMO can solve problems of similar complexity for the Pool/Spanish/Russian games - in fact, because these games operate on a smaller 8x8 board, its play-strength is even stronger! Here are a few of DYNAMO's features:-
