Russian Checkers
Russian draughts (also known as Shashki or Russian shashki) is a variant of draughts (checkers) played in some parts in Russia and some parts of the former USSR, as well as parts of Eastern Europe and Israel. The variant is also known as Pool Checkers or American Pool Checkers in the United States, where it is played completively, chiefly by African Americans in the South and in some large cities.

Famous quotes containing the word russian:
“In Western Europe people perish from the congestion and stifling closeness, but with us it is from the spaciousness.... The expanses are so great that the little man hasn’t the resources to orient himself.... This is what I think about Russian suicides.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
