Since I am very enthusiastic about all those new beautiful e-boards that are coming out recently, such as the Millennium Tournament 55 , I am also very enthusiastic again to add new features to Chess for Android . Today I added the "move coach", which has been a feature of Chess for Android since the beginning, to e-boards as well. To enable or disable the feature, simply go to the option menu, and toggle the option. I demonstrate the new feature on e-boards in the following brief video. Please let me know what you think. I hope to release this to Google Play very soon!

Checkers Move Generation

DEPTH #LEAF NODES ORIGINAL OPTIMIZED TIME TIME ==================================== 7 179740 2.9s 1.9s 8 845931 14.2s 9.7s 9 3963680 66.3s 45.6s 10 18391564 294.6s 208.7s P.S. Runtimes for a C++ checkers move generator on a 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo are given at my checkers page .
