opencheckers is checkers (American / English draughts) with classic, familiar controls, rules, layout, and visuals: an 8×8 board, mandatory captures, multi-jumps, and kings. You play the computer at three difficulty levels. Click a piece to see its legal moves and click to move. The window resizes freely while the board stays a fixed size.
I make these to keep my C sharp, and because finishing a small thing that actually runs beats tinkering forever on something that never ships. It boots fast, plays clean, and that is plenty.
If you want to save a game, opencheckers records your session straight to an MP4, supersampled so the video is as crisp as the live game. Toggle it from the menu before you start.
