Theory and practice

We are starting a series of publications devoted to errors in the assessment and analysis of positions found in the draughts literature.

Currently, a lot of draughts literature has already been published, in which in total you can find literally everything about the game of draughts. However, it is no secret that in some checkers books there are errors in the assessment and analysis of specific positions that arise when playing draughts.

It is not always possible to come out of the opening with the best position and at the end to fight for the victory, you also have to defend. Sometimes it seems that the position is already ‘impossible to save’, after a while you will have to give up, but there is the only plan that still leads to a cherished draw.
