 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 shows that Note D's assertion "14-18 seems drawable" is correct. The position in the right column draws by 29-25 2-6 29-25 8-11 32-28 3-8 26-23 5-9 31-26 15-18 22x15 11x18 26-22 7-11 22x15 1x18 30-26 13-17 19-15 10x19 24x15 9-13 28-24 6-10 15x6 1x10 24-19 10-15 19x10 17-22 26x17 13x29 10-7 18-22 7-2 22-25 2-6 25-30 6-9 30-26 9x18 26x19 18-22 19-15 21-17 15-10 27-23 8-11 17-13 10-6 22-17 Draws.
