The earliest evidence of checkers dates back to 3,000 B.C. while the modern game is attributed to the French (1100 A.D.). Intorine has made several versions of checkers and their latest version, Allure Checkers 2.0, is exceptional. The game is small in footprint and responsive, allowing users to quickly play games at five different difficultly levels and four different sets of rules. These options make a timeless classic all-the-better."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/logsdon_20040207_checkers.jpg" /><br /><br />Clinton Fitch gives us a brief history of checkers and then jumps into a detailed review of Intorine's Allure Checkers. All told, it looks pretty slick, with some nice skins, detailed options, and game-specific rules. I've already learned something new today, as I had no idea that there was more than one "flavor" of checkers. Since I have no additional checker-related jokes, I'll just pipe down and let you read the review.
