Everyone can play checkers, you probably can. And even though you are not an arrester and have never played in tournaments, this is not a hindrance to reading the proposed book. She is not a textbook. There is no theory of openings or endings in it, and there are no other theoretical chapters. But look through it - and you will learn a lot of curious things about the old and wise game: about checkers of the past, about funny incidents on the diagonals, about the mysterious "checker compass," about tournament curiosities... and most importantly, make sure that checkers are a lively and entertaining game.
