It's been a while since I updated kingsrow for English checkers, but I recently posted a news item at the kingrow home page that I will paste here:
9/28/2026: I have built a 12-piece endgame db for English checkers. It's big! And it's available for download. More info here: https://edgilbert.org/EnglishCheckers/1 ... lishDB.htm. There are new versions of Kingsrow (v 1.20) and CheckerBoard (v 1.78) that are needed to use the 12-piece db. Also, I have merged the opening book data for 11-man ballots into the normal Kingsrow opening book. The separate 11-man book file is no longer needed.

É grande! E está disponível para download. Mais informações aqui: https://edgilbert.org/EnglishCheckers/1 ... lishDB.htm. Há novas versões do Kingsrow (v 1.20) e do CheckerBoard (v 1.78) que são necessárias para usar o banco de dados de 12 peças. Além disso, mesclei os dados do livro de abertura para cédulas de 11 homens no livro de abertura normal de Kingsrow. O arquivo de livro separado para 11 pessoas não é mais necessário.
The rules of Brazilian Checkers are the same as those of International Draughts, but played on an 8×8 board. Would you be interested?
