Description:
World Championship Checkers is a highly sophisticated checkers program.
On contemporary PC computers, WCC can search at over a million positions per second.
The endgame databases are more highly compressed than those of any other program, and database access is more than three times faster than that of any other checkers program.
This allows computers with much less RAM to access these incredible databases and still perform well.
WCC also features Perfect Play Lookup (PPL) databases, which allow the program to announce a win from as far away as 253 plies (127 moves for the winner, 126 for the loser) playing optimally and instantly on either the winning or the losing side.
No other checkers program features PPL databases, because no one but the Dodgen/Trice team has computed them!
