Russian Checkers

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.
