Sage Draughts is a very comprehensive Draughts or Checkers playing program from the late 1990s. I am releasing this with the source code.
Download source+exe here:

SAGE is a 32 bit Windows program, which should run on any version from XP up to Windows 11. It can can run under LINUX or MAC-OS using a windows emulator like WINE. It can be installed by simply downloading and extracting the zip file. To run, open the SAGE folder and click/run SAGE.EXE.
It has a very wide range of features, levels, analysis, game replay/save/load, handling PDN game databases, endgame "perfect play" databases, large opening databases, and so on.
Sage can play Checkers on any size Board from 4x4 to 12x12. It can also play Italian rules checkers.
Or you can just enjoy a simple game of Checkers!

(It started as a DOS, then a Win3.1 16 bit program. Eventually I will add those to the archive, its work in progress.)
