CheckerBoard is also a powerful database program. PDN (Portable Draughts Notation) is the standard file format for checkers games. Many, but not all programs support this standard. You should not settle for a program which does not support this standard if you are serious about improving your game - lots of game collections exist in PDN for you to study and improve. It is also the easiest way to share games with friends.

• Play against different checkers engines - Cake and KingsRow are among the best English checkers programs of the world; both are capable of running with the 8-piece endgame database if you have it. Weaker engines are also available for beginners. There are also engines which play Italian, Spanish and Russian losing checkers. CheckerBoard offers you multiple opponents, and checkers variants, unlike most other programs.
• Enter and replay games. You can have the engine running in the background, giving you evaluations and suggested lines as you move through the game.
• Choose the level of play of the computer opponent.
• Set up positions for the computer to analyze.
• Full game analysis: The engine will run through the entire game and give what it thinks to be the best line in every position, with evaluations.
• Have two engines play against each other and enjoy the game.
