KingsRow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KingsRow is a strong checkers engine, and can be used with the CheckerBoard GUI. It is released by Ed Gilbert in 2000.

Unlike Cake++, KingsRow can use the Chinook database, up to 8-pieces.

[edit] History

KingsRow was stronger than Cake++ in the early years. Cake++ finally caught up with KingsRow and gradually became stronger. Although its currently a little weaker than Cake++, it is comparable. It competed a match against Cake++ on Thanksgiving 2004 and Cake++ won 3 to 1. In July 17, 2005, Ed Gilbert completed building a 10-piece endgame database for use with KingsRow.
