My condolences for your great personal loss. I feel like I know you as a friend even without knowing your name. So glad you have resumed your excellent series as soon as you could. Like many of your audience, I own many books in which I could and sometimes have researched the ground you cover, but I find it a pleasure to watch you so gracefully lead your friends along these classic checker pathways. Your efforts are much appreciated.
George thank you so much for making all these videos and for your experience and humility. My dad was Ireland draughts champion in 1961 and 1963 and stopped competing but always studied the game. He passes away in ‘94. I can’t tell you how much he would have enjoyed your videos. I’m so sorry to hear of your own loss. I hope you’re keeping well. Warmest regards Joe
Hi friends of George (checkercycle), I know I can speak for all of us when I say I wish he would continue making checkers videos. His teaching style makes the game fun and easy to learn. I am trying to fill the void in his absence, and have put efforts into making more videos aimed at beginner checkers players. My goal is to make more videos in his style, as his impact on both the game and TH-cam community cannot be understated. George, if you read this, please know we are thinking about you and sending you our best wishes your way.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your wife. It is so difficult to lose someone who you've shared your life with and loved deeply. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I've learned so much and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos to teach us Internet strangers about checkers. Maybe I can consistently beat my husband at checkers now. I've got backgammon, now I need checkers.
Dude, I'm a new follower. Just wandering if you're still with us, if you got a new account (hope so) and hope you're living your very best right now & and hope you upload again someday!
Thank you for sharing!! Please can I ask for something? Please could you do: 1-upload more videos based on the international rules. 2-do an analysis to the most famous games, because l can’t find any in English.(international rules) Thank you again for sharing this video with us.
Sir, you have been an inspiration to myself and many others. I am very sorry for your loss. Please, stay strong and remember she is in heaven with the Lord and to seek comfort in Jesus Christ. Thank you for all of inspiring and positive videos.
Hope you are doing well my friend. I am new to your videos and my girlfriend and I love playing checkers. Was a random coincidence to playing checkers again in the first place but I truly appreciate your intelligent incite and watching your videos as a person. We all go through changes in life, but you are blessed so remember all your blessing til we all unite there on the other side!
Hello checkercycle, Thanks a lot for your videos- they are really helpful! I watched many of your videos, sometimes multiple times. And I think I learned a lot and improved my play. Again, thank you, appreciate it!! I wonder, if you could help me and give some advice for endgames. Maybe there is a video in your channel that helps. I often start out quite well, being equal in terms of number of men and position. But with 6 men or less I often experience the frustrating situation that I'm set-up for a double, sometimes triple of even quadruple jump. I had this even when I was up a checker (king) or more and the game should be a clear win for me. I would like to learn how to avoid these pitfalls and hopefully learn how to set these up on my own...! Regards from Germany Joachim
AmyAnn, it is a very good question. In the GAYP style (Go As You Please) a lot of the game and variations are well known and study by the Masters and Expert. They tend not to make the mistakes that is common with Amateurs and Beginners. So at the top levels there are more draws, but a lot of fight and you can learn a lot. With the 3 Move Openings like the one in (Game 1-7) one side gets an early advantage and can work it into a win. But you as a players get to play both sides. If you can win the stronger side and draw the weaker side your are doing quite well. Thank you for your question.
I wish that more people could know just how beautiful and challenging checkers can be. Your channel is wonderful! Are you going to make more checkers videos soon?
Hi Mitch! Thank you and welcome aboard. I hope to do some videos in the near future. I also like chess and i recently played an International Master Maurice Ashley he was playing 25 players at the same time. it been about 20 years since i played and i did it for fun, I was the first one out. Kinda wish it was checkers instead.
I am sorry to say but I have just spent an everning trying reaserch the sport of checkers to find little information aside from your videos. I can not find anywhere that lists the basics, nor contact information for governing bodies etc. If it is this hard to find information on the sport, I have no idea how you get newcomers into the game. sorry but I have tried - I think I am better off going back to chess. Such a pitty as I really wanted to learn :(
Hey good reviews you got , can shoot videos with the initial victories in the start of the match?I think it would be interesting to viewers to see..And one more question do you play online checkers ? I play flyordie.com there's audience every day, about 1000 players online, do yourself a nickname there if you have time and interested, I have the video from this site..thanks good luck
May god bless your and your wife and thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to do this for us. I truly appreciate it

While checkercycle can never be replaced, I do publish informational checkers videos about once a week. Hopefully you will enjoy them!

Can anyone tell me what has happened to the author of this excellent series?
I fear the worst
It's been 4 years and who knows how many months... Right? Maybe he has a new account
@@lastcancer.fallen7th937 His name is George Gerhauser. But nobody knows more...
Thank you for sharing!! Please can I ask for something?
Please could you do:
1-upload more videos based on the international rules.

Thank you again for sharing this video with us.
May her soul rest in peace
It happened 6 years ago. Havent seen new videos since then 😢
I just found this channel and i love it please make more videos and i feel really bad for you you are such a nice man.
You are in my thoughts.
Sorry for your lost. My deepest sympathy for you and your family.

We all go through changes in life, but you are blessed so remember all your blessing til we all unite there on the other side!
I'LL be glad when someone develops a Google play app that analyzes checker moves, like some of those chess apps.
Please Make A Video Who Only Makes Trades On This Game Please..
I’m extremely behind but wanted to say I’m very sorry to hear about your loss.
Great video, it has helped me refind my love of checkers. What has the ACF been up to these days? Is it still active?
sorry for your loss, rip.
good moves, tanks
Peace and love for you and your wife and your family

Hope you're doing alright.
I pray that you may find strength to cope with this sad loss
Will you be making any more videos? They have helped me a lot!
Please do more videos, they are really good, and could you please make some tutorials how to win damas checkers?
where do you find the green and white checker board that is numbered? With white and red checkers.
I have a stupid question; do most expert checker games end up in draws?
AmyAnn, it is a very good question. In the GAYP style (Go As You Please) a lot of the game and variations are well known and study by the Masters and Expert. They
tend not to make the mistakes that is common with Amateurs and Beginners. So at
the top levels there are more draws, but a lot of fight and you can learn a lot. With the 3 Move Openings like the one in (Game 1-7) one side gets an early advantage and can work it into a win. But you as a players get to play both sides. If you can win the stronger side and draw the weaker side your are doing quite well. Thank you for your question.
Hi long time no see your new video ,do you plan to continue?and I have one question how do you think red what is the strongest tactic?
i hope you are all right, sir
You don't know me, and I only know you on TH-cam. However, I truly am sorry for you and your family. I pray for your strength in the face of loss.
Why arent you uploading videos anymore ?
I wish that more people could know just how beautiful and challenging checkers can be. Your channel is wonderful! Are you going to make more checkers videos soon?
Hi. Im a new subscriber. I was wondering if you are going to make new video's? Sorry about your wife. Have you ever got into playing chess?
Hi Mitch! Thank you and welcome aboard. I hope to do some videos in the near future. I also like chess and i recently played an International Master Maurice Ashley he was playing 25 players at the same time. it been about 20 years since i played and i did it for fun, I was the first one out. Kinda wish it was checkers instead.
Prayers out to you.
When more videos? Also hope you're ok checkercycle
I've only started watching your videos.
I'm sorry about your wife.
That was a very gentlemanly way to start things.
I hope you are well.
This man just got me interested in draughts... I hope he's doing well. :)
BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD med najib
At 6:43 there is an error. The correct move for the white player is 26 to 23, to prepare a triple shot. In every case he gain one checker
I hope he is doing well
😢❤️
in the old books why is white reference to as red... for example you often times see written.... WHITE (RED) to move to draw.
Hi checkercycle! I was wondering if you have an email I can contact you at?
Are you still making videos?
I am sorry to say but I have just spent an everning trying reaserch the sport of checkers to find little information aside from your videos. I can not find anywhere that lists the basics, nor contact information for governing bodies etc. If it is this hard to find information on the sport, I have no idea how you get newcomers into the game. sorry but I have tried - I think I am better off going back to chess.
