The problem for checkers was "solved" early in the 18th century, when
some clever Dutchman realised the game plays better on 10x10, with
long king and some other small changes compared to English Checkers.
This is the version of the game that is most popular in the world
today, but it does not appear to be very well-known in the English-
speaking world.
