KingsRow is a strong checkers and draughts engine. It was released by Ed Gilbert in 2000.

The checkers engine can be used with the GUI. The engine is available as freeware.

History[]

In the only Computer Checkers World Championship, KingsRow took second place behind Nemesis.

KingsRow was stronger than in the early years. Cake++ finally caught up with KingsRow and gradually became stronger. It competed a 624-game match against Cake++ on Thanksgiving 2004; Cake++ won 3 to 1, with 620 games ending in a draw. On July 17, 2005, Ed Gilbert completed building a 10-piece endgame database for use with KingsRow.

A version for Italian checkers with a nine-piece endgame tablebase is available, too.

Draughts version[]

A 10x10 version of KingsRow was started in 2007. In 2009, an eight-piece endgame tablebase was finished. With checkers solved, and all top engine matches ending in draws only; KingsRow only focuses on 10x10 draughts today.
