Checkers Solved

"Computers solve checkers" was the headline at ChessBase News yesterday. Turns out it's a draw. The article is worth a look, if only to read about the late Dr. Marion Tinsley's complete dominance of the game up until his death in 1994, and speculation about when, if ever, chess might be solved.

Funny, but knowing that checkers has been solved in no way affects my interest in playing the game....
