This appears to be the first attempt to create a serious draughts/checkers player to work on J2ME devices. Though very far from becoming a champion, it will challenge the majority of human players, and will nicely fit in your mobile phone ! A partner you always wanted during a long trip, or a boring conference. 
The application implements International, English/American (a.k.a. Straight), Brazilian, Pool, Spanish, Russian, and Thai draughts/checkers, and provides a variety of customised features, including give-away and blitz games. The application supports Wave, Tone, or MIDI sound depending on a device it is running on.
