Application Description:

Maximus: The Premier International Draughts App!

Experience international draughts (also known as 10x10 checkers) like never before on your tablet or smartphone with Maximus, the 2011 Dutch Open and Olympic computer draughts champion. Available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch, Maximus provides a challenging and engaging experience for players of all skill levels.

In 2012, Maximus competed against former World Champion Alexander Schwarzman, resulting in a close defeat (five draws and one loss). More recently, it achieved a third-place finish in the (unofficial) 2019 World Championship Computer Draughts competition (running on a desktop computer, a more powerful platform than mobile devices). Even on mobile, Maximus proves a formidable opponent!

Whether you're a seasoned expert or a complete beginner, Maximus offers a range of difficulty levels to suit your needs. Start with a level designed to teach the rules of the game, where Maximus makes random moves. Then, progress through ten training levels, ranging from beginner to expert, before challenging Maximus with longer thinking times.

Enhance your skills by analyzing past games with Maximus, learning from your mistakes, and identifying areas for improvement. The app also functions as a draughts travel set, a notation booklet, or even a substitute player in a competition!
