For many players, studying checkers can seem like learning a new language. There are columns of text, notes and variations, and it can be difficult and frustrating to follow. In this video, I discuss how to read the published play in the following three books: Lees' Guide to the Game of Draughts, Basic Checkers, and Solid Checkers. These three books are classics and are must-haves for any serious player. However, the principles I show in this video for reading published play can be applied to any checkers book.
For checkers players that are interested in taking their game to the next level, and wanting to understand how to read published play in the game's literature, then this video is for you. One note I did not mention in this video: In many books, you will see an asterisk or "*" next to a move. This "star" next to a move means it is the key to a win or draw.
