Canadian researchers at the University of Alberta report that they have ’solved’ the game of checkers, with a computer program, Chinook, that is incapable of losing. You can get a draw out of the match but it is mathematically impossible to win.

The Chinook project began in 1989 with the goal of developing a program capable of defeating the human World Checkers Champion. In 1990, Chinook became the first program in any game to win the right to play for a human World Championship. The program lost the Championship match in 1992, but became Champion in 1994. By 1996, it became clear that the program was much stronger than any human, and Chinook was retired.

But now it is back and with full power! If you are willing to challenge the checkers monster access their website and be ready to lose!
