Discover Maximus, the premier app for the game of International Draughts (also known as 10x10 Checkers)! Elevate your gameplay experience to new heights on your tablet or smartphone. Maximus, the champion of the 2011 Dutch Open and Olympic computer draughts, is now available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. In 2012, Maximus demonstrated its prowess by challenging former draughts World Champion Alexander Schwarzman, narrowly losing with five draws and one defeat. More recently, Maximus secured third place in the (unofficial) world championship for computer draughts in 2019, running on a desktop computer—a testament to its strength, though it remains a formidable opponent even on mobile devices.
You don't need to be an expert to enjoy Maximus; it caters to all skill levels with multiple difficulty settings. Start with an introductory level where Maximus makes random moves to help you learn the rules. Progress through ten training levels, from beginner to expert, before challenging Maximus with extended thinking time. Enhance your skills by reviewing and learning from your games with Maximus. Additionally, use the app as a travel draughts set, a notation booklet, or even in competitions if you need an extra player.
