Enter moves in the format "<Number to move from> <Number to move to>". To see the board numbers, press N.

Other commands: "R" Resign, "I" I.Q. (change difficulty), "P<Number to move>" Force the computer to move a piece, "S" Save, "G" Get (?) "X" Exchange (flips the board), "C" Clear (removes all pieces from the board), "M" Modify (at each prompt, enter all the numbers you want to apply it to, specified by spaces).

Seems awfully full-featured for a Checkers program, but if you're a Checkers fan then I guess it makes sense!

Additional Comments

Updated on December 13th, 2022. Replaced cracked binary executable with repaired tape dump courtesy of Kay Savetz / AtariGrub (use C: acceleration patch on emulators as title appears to work erratically).

Load with OS-A.

Missing original tape image!
