This program plays checkers. The pieces played by the computer are marked with an “X”, yours are marked “O”. A move is made by specifying the coordinates of the piece to be moved (X, Y). Home (0,0) is in the bottom left and X specifies distance to the right of home (i.e., column) and Y specifies distance above home (i.e. row). You then specify where you wish to move to.
THe original version of the program by Alan Segal was not able to recognize (or permit) a double or triple jump. If you tried one, it was likely that your piece would disappear altogether!

Steve North of Creative Computing rectified this problem and Lawrence Neal contributed modifications to allow the program to tell which player has won the game. The computer does not play a particularly good game but we leave it to _you_ to improve that.
