' 1 Checkers is one of the oldest ^ games on earth, and perhaps has t been played by more humans than v tically exery adult in the USA. to ^ day and for the past 150 years has " played checker9 at one time or a? j nothei; and what is true in this "J country is "equally true~7n all civ>Iilized parts of the world. However, the game, as a con- ^ test beyond the immediate mem- s eyom! on ^ ? particular acquaintanceship has g made little progress. Tournament ^ play is limited mainly to the mas- ; ters of the game, both profession^ aj and amateur. Whereas the pro t fessionals hr/ve a ' fairlyj adtive I ^ \ public relation bureau, the ama- v teurs have one which hardly functions, and their activities are ^ known chiefly among themselves. ( - 'Boards and men, similar to those used in checkers of today, have been found in the tombs where the Pharoah were?buried about 1600 B. C. po the game is at least ft,fiOtt~ye?rs old. The Egyptian boards, however indicated that the game was of "two* kinds in that era: one of 25 squares in which each player used 5 men; and the board of 16 squares with 4 men to the player. History next meets up with checkers as played by the Norse men in the _1 1th century,-whether they received it. or it had been played indifferent thru-out Egypt.
