Maximus Draughts

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.

Maximus's impressive pedigree includes a close match against former World Champion Alexander Schwarzman in 2012 (resulting in five draws and one loss) and a third-place finish in the unofficial 2019 World Championship (running on a desktop computer, showcasing its powerful engine even on mobile devices).

Whether you're a seasoned draughts player or a complete beginner, Maximus offers a range of difficulty levels to suit your expertise. Start with a level designed to teach the rules, where Maximus makes random moves, then progress through ten training levels, from beginner to expert, before challenging Maximus with longer thinking times. Analyze your games, learn from your mistakes, and hone your skills.

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