 Extracted Games of the "ELEVENTH ENGLISH TOURNAMENT GAMES", Held at Southport, April, 1909, will be posted, and may be viewed on my Checkers/Draughts Index page - Current post is listed below. HRG

Thanks to Martin Fierz's "CheckerBoard" program at http://www.fierz.ch/checkers.htm, which made possible the recording of this game.

 A program analysis indicates that White wins the position in the diagram by 6-10 15x6 1x10 22-18 7-11 18x9 5x14 25-22 11-15 21-17 14x21 23-18 15-19 27-24 20x27 31x6 2x9 18-15 9-14 15-11 16-19 11-7 14-17 7-2 12-16 2-7 16-20 7-10 19-23 26x19 17x26 30x23 20-24 19-16 White Wins. (The move is not right for three kings to draw against four kings.)
