There's a version of draughts, Wikipedia calls it International Draughts, which is quite popular in Europe but not very well known in English-speaking countries, played on a 10x10 board. Apparently the world champion hasn't yet been defeated by a computer. The world champions have always been Europeans, with the exception of a couple from French colonies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Draughts_World_Championship_winners https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Draughts_World_Champio...

- incompatible 9y agoThe rules are a bit different, since you can take pieces backwards and crowned pieces can move along entire diagonals. I used to play it a bit when I was a teenager.
