Maximus: The Premier International Draughts (10x10 Checkers) App!

Experience international draughts (or 10x10 checkers) like never before on your tablet or smartphone with Maximus, the 2011 Dutch Open and Olympic computer draughts champion. Available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch, Maximus provides a challenging and engaging gameplay experience for players of all skill levels.

In 2012, Maximus competed against former World Champion Alexander Schwarzman, showcasing its impressive capabilities despite a narrow defeat (five draws and one loss). More recently, it secured a respectable third-place finish in the (unofficial) 2019 World Championship Computer Draughts, even while running on a less powerful mobile platform compared to its desktop counterparts. Prepare for a formidable opponent, regardless of your device!

Maximus caters to all skill levels, from beginners learning the rules (with Maximus playing randomly) to experts mastering advanced strategies. Ten training levels bridge the gap, allowing gradual improvement before tackling more challenging time constraints. Analyze past games to identify weaknesses and refine your technique.

Beyond gameplay, Maximus functions as a travel set, notation booklet, and even a substitute player for competitions.
