We also want to inform the fraternity that Daniel Maganagi has passed away at only the age of 34 of Covid 19 in Brazil in late 2020. Daniel Maganagi was the greatest player Brazil has ever produced in our style of English draughts. He was a student of myself and Juan Arturo. He leaves behind a widow and a young daughter.

Tributes and 2019 Ranking

Ladies and gentlemen, it's going on a decade since this blog was first written under rapor's influence. Time has really flew. Many of our peers has moved on. I still have some projects I want to do in the game and of course many projects outside of the game that really needs my focus. I would like to dedicate this post to some of my great mentors and seniors:

1. Max aka Adam Johnson, like Alessio aka gtx, he is one of the greatest talent to have never attend a real life competition. His wish was to leave the game for good and sever all ties. He is now only a mythical and legendary figure. People do not remember how good he really was and the years will keep passing by. Like my great mentor Max before me, because of time and life, I too will walk the same path one day. Hopefully one of the African greats or Alessio will show the mainstream checkers community that there are unknown great talents out there. There is a saying in online checkers, "no one before Max, no one after".

2. Great master Luis. In the golden era of online checkers, he was one of the leaders and great master. In his prime, he can grapple with the likes of Jolt, Qijch and the warrior Max himself. I am applauded that he still wants to continue to learn and improve. I have given him my 2019 versions of my databases. With them, can he grapple with today's best such as Moore and Lorne? We shall see.

3. Legendary Fredo. In his day, he was one of the top 3 online players. Being one of the greatest of all time he had the raw talent to be as good as grandmasters like Mosieyev and Scarpetta. Fredo is no longer youthful and it's time to let him go on in peace. Enjoy your biological calling to raise the next generation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2019 Online 3 move Ranking:

1. Matteo Bernini - Since Max is gone, nobody can touch him in anything 3/2 or under although he's nothing special at the moment. Even under tournament timer if it's a 40 game match and he's serious, he would be the favor against the current world champion Sergio. He sucks at 1/0 though and I'm not sure why he's playing that

2. Sergio Scarpetta - Sergio knows lots of lines and most people just cannot do much against him.

3. Alex M. - About the same level as Sergio but is not as good as Sergio in tournaments 

4. Alessio - nobody in history has been as dominant as Alessio in gayp online. His best 3 move game is also very solid. He fought the Italian killer Melikaya to a draw.

5. Fredo Mercado

6. Joe Moore - you can't play risky against him, he has a strong positional game and knows lots of pp. To beat Moore you have to play things he don't know or play very tight like him and just take wins when he makes a mistake. His persistence and studying has paid off and was able to beat Chee by a 9 game lead recently, Chee who is one of the few living representative of internet checkers still in existence.

7. Clint Olsen

8. Chee Xiong

9. Lorne Wells - he has beaten former top online players such as jolt, Juan, Daniel, Luis, Qijch, xeno and done good with Fredo and Chee in small series. You have to give him some credit now, if anything for just still existing as online checkers is dying. He still has more work to do but if you are not careful, he can catch you when you start to relax. One of his biggest weakness is his fighting spirit, but Gian agreed with me that he can be a more dangerous opponent on his best day than say Moore who is a very tough positional player.

10. Daniel 

11. Juan Arturo - he can beat Daniel and Lorne but not in his current condition. Like Fredo, he is busy raising the next generation of Juans. Father time and biology is calling.

12. Ledzeppelin

13.  Cesare

14. Xeno

15. Alvaro

16. Luis

17. Qijch

18. MT aka anthony

19. Darion

20. Gian

21. Mexican Cesar

22. Jaburu

Here is also a blog by the Japanese with references to some of my old rankings if you have not seen it yet: http://boardgame.blog36.fc2.com/

2012 World ICF Ranking (repost)

Repost of 2012 Era Ranking

1. The warrior Max aka Adam Johnson - the strongest player in the history of the ICF, has defeated numerous world class opponents including world champions, world contenders and grandmasters.

2. Alex "the Russian bear" Mosieyev - World and Olympiad champion, has not been seen since Jay beat him in a position out of his own book, "the fugitive king" (see image above).

3. Michele Borghetti - his smart choice in choosing kurnik for his future training will help him greatly once he focus 100% on American checkers.
4. Sergio Scarpetta - recently earned the respect of offline players world wide by winning the 2011 freestyle world qualifer, Mosieyev has now officially admitted in public that the best kurnik players can compete at the world level.

5. Jay - he came back from years of absence and was able to dominate again, Jay was a former world online checkers champion but now the competition has became stiffer.

6. Jolt aka Keith Hong - the American born Chinese master has proven time and again his high level. In recent times, the Thailand born American naturalized Chee was able to win the world Asian checkers champion title from him but he remains undoubtedly the best Asian player in the world.

7. Alfredo Mercado - the legendary Fredo lost his warrior spirit in his 2011 battles with Jolt and seems to be in a depression, has not been playing like a madman like he use to.

8. Ray - still avoiding top competition but is still one of the best, he convincingly defeated the Italian grandmaster Sergio recently.

9. Chee "the investigator" Xiong - is the current world 1/0 freestyle champion by defeating Fredo 24-20, though Darion aka the game still plays here and there he is currently retired from serious play.

10. Matteo Bernini - he is a future legend.

11. Qijch - out of practice

12. Xeno

13. James

14. Eric Strange

15. Stevo

16. Skinny - he is doing the best he's done in years, recently defeating the game, James and Jolt but lost to Eric Strange and Chee.

Inactive or retired players: Dan (made a failed attempt at coming back and gave up), Midnight, Juan, Mag, Kevin, Daniel, Camron, Darion, Luis, Dale, Pete, Chris...etc.

Only players proven to be capable of playing at a similar enough level in 1/0 are included. Some players can play very good in long timer but in 1/0 their skill is worse than coon's, Jon Mcdonald for example. 1/0 is one of the best ways to prevent people from being able to use performance enhancing aids (programs, databases, books etc.)

Also want to give a shout out to the legendary coon, probably the worse competitive player to have ever played. He once lost a 4 vs 3 position to me in long timer. Coon went on to live with his father in the moutains.

Chee's 1/0 Kurnik Ranking (2009)

Interesting reference to Young G vs Nick Addante (recent picture of young G below). Original post date:  August 2009

Note for non players: In our terminology, rape = beating someone by skill, whore = beating someone by time... not sure who came up with them lol

1/0 Ranking (overall for gayp and 3 move) for recently active players - guys like Ray, Sergio and wildman are not ranked because they don't play 1/0

Heavyweight division:

5/5 Fredo - unstoppable at the moment in 1/0 especially 3 move, the last person to beat him in any kind of 1/0 series is Juan I believe. If only Jay would come back.
5/5 Juan - retired midnight, destroyed kevin (in gayp), mag (about even in 3 move), xeno and Chee in 1/0 gayp. Gives Fredo a run for his money. Juan is not as good in 3 move as he use to be anymore (as evidenced by losing to Max, losing narrowly to Mag and barely beating Chee 6-5-10 in 3 move...Juan once was able to beat Max, Jay and Daniel in 1/0 3 move and even beating Fredo some days). Can beat just about anyone in 1/0 other than Fredo.
4.5/5 Jolt - there was a time when jolt used to be better and faster in 1/0 but some of the light heavy wieghts has given him trouble in recent times. In long timers he is ranked at the top with the likes of Fredo, Ray and Jay but this is 1/0.
5/5 Darion - AKA the game, the game is very fast and dangerous. Looks like the game might come back, the game X Kevin in 1/0 3 move is expected to go down soon.
4.5/5 the warrior Max - he is not too consistent, sometimes he would kill light heavyweight players like Mag, Kevin, Chee but other times doesn't do as well. He can hang with the heavyweights such as the game and Juan in 1/0 more consistently than players in the light heavyweight division althought midnight seems to do well vs Fredo and Jay in 1/0 gayp.

Light heavyweight division:

5/5 midnight - midnight has improved a bit from 2007, it would be interesting to see him against Mike Couch who was a little faster and better than midnight in 2007
5/5 Daniel "Maganagi" - definitely the most improved player of the year, myself and Juan thought he was progging on and off at first because when we came back from draughts Mag jumped from 1400 to 1600+ and this was about the same time Saddam released Daileon. But all evidence points towards the possiblity that he really did studied hard, maybe after I showed him how to copy and paste games from Lee's guide onto checkerboard. A lot of guys are still in denial (a Brazilian is now better than them) and think Mag is an invention of Juan and Chee. Mag is extemely fast, as fast as Juan or even faster. Does pretty good vs Juan, Kevin, Chee, Chris, midnight, Max sometimes, raped Pete... seems to have problems vs Xeno, Darion, Jolt.
5/5 Kevin - Kevin has been very impressive lately, going back and forth vs the warrior Max, beating xeno more than he loss and destroyed chee in the most recent 1/0 series. While still not as good as Max overall, Kevin seems to have gotten a lot better than he ever was. Beating Q in two long timer series and recently dominated Camron. He can probably take midnight right now but unfortunately he might go back to jail soon and midnight is still retired from the Juan beat downs.
4/5 Chee
4/5 Xeno - I think he used to be a bit better
3/5 Qich - Q is not that bad in 1/0, he just have to play it more often
2.5/5 Swuss - seems to do well vs some like the game but not too well vs some such as Chee
3/5 James - supposed to be the man back then in 1/0 and seems to be improving since he started playing more, he'll probably be another modern day Camron
4/5 Chris - does good vs jolt, sometimes Max, Chee, Juan etc. but loses to Mag and midnight
2/5 Skinny - used to be one of the best but never was able to get it back
4/5 Rapor - he is pretty good and fast but should really start to play. Based on his past games vs xeno, Chee and Mag he is around the same level as those players more or less
4/5 Camron
4/5 Pete - if he stop being a pussy he could be a pretty good player. Used to do well vs Q, Chee (still does sometimes but he loses more often then wins), Daniel (lsd_infliction) back in the days
3/5 Brandon - an undercover investigation revealed that barrybugs is his secret practicing name
2.5/5 Josh - Josh is getting better since starting to play more again. He defeated my boy Mag 18-17 recently and seems to be doing good vs some light heavies, all around though Josh and Brandon still struggles vs some lower ranked players but are doing well against some top ranked players
2/5 Dan - division: light heavyweight - Dan is back but isn't really good at the moment
3.5/5 Alan - Alan and his little brother Arnold shares nicks so it's hard to know which one is which but I think it is actually Alan that has been playing good vs myself, xeno, kevin, midnight and mag.
3/5 Tom

Middleweight division:

4/5 vadim - his gayp is still good but he's bad 3 move but he hasn't really played in a long time
5/5 Gil - I beat him 35-10 when he first came back but only beat him 19-14 more recently, he is catching up to Alan. He recently went 0-2-8 vs Mag so I would say he's getting some rust off.
4/5 Arnold - I confuse him and his brother Alan because they share nicks and don't have much personality or English skills
5/5 juanito - juanito aka Juan junior, gave xeno all he can handle in gayp. The problem with him is he gets figured out after a while, just need to work on his crossboard I suppose.
3/5 cesar - doesn't really play 1/0 that much because he isn't fast, can take some of the fellow Mexicans like juanito and Gil in longer timer. If he played more often against good compeition he could move up in the rankings. He seems pretty skilled but not proven in 1/0
3/5 devon - use to be much better, now he lose to a lot of middleweights and even lightweights.
3/5 kodak
4/5 Young G - claims to me that he will not be running everytime he gets the first win anymore
3/5 theendoftheworld

Lightweight division:
2/5 coon - has replaced old school guys like optimus prime and tony355
2/5 himhim - himhim has been bumped to 2/5 for going even vs Nick in a series I was watching, himhim is finally improving a bit - arguably the fastest in kurnik today
3/5 nick - nick has been training with rapor and is pretty fast but his crossboard is same level as coon. Young G defeated Nick by a brutal 15-6-4 TKO today in an un-rated 1/0 gayp match witnessed by many. He has moved down one notch.
2/5 Dak
3/5 cactus
4/5 prd - super fast but sucks
4/5 zag
4/5 tutan
4/5 jaburu
4/5 playboy - use to be better I think but still decent, should be in the middleweight division but because of his current performance against other Brazilians he has to be in the lightweight division
4/5 como vc - could be the next Mag if he played more often, he was much better last fall, como vc also should be in the middleweight division but like playboy he has not played much and cannot be in the middleweight division because of current performance
2/5 tomy - with rapor's comment, I have reconsidered tomy's 1/0 ability. Technically Tomy is a pretty good middle weight in skill but his problem is his speed. He moves really slow and gets whored easily.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Retired players:
5/5 Jay - division: heavyweight - the last time he was active on kurnik he beat up Chee, midnight, doubled Max and went almost even vs Fredo. Was afraid of Darion's speed though.
5/5 Daniel - division: heavyweight
5/5 Couch - division: light heavyweight - probably the fastest player in kurnik history - was a faster and better version of 2007 midnight but midnight has improved a bit since, narrowly loss to Juan, got doubled by Daniel though but Daniel is a great player.
4/5 Rishi - division: light heavyweight - does very good vs Darion sometimes but overall he is around the level of a 4/5 player in the light heavyweight division
5/5 Luis - division: light heavyweight - when he played, he had Max's number
5/5 Dale - division: heavyweight - never saw him played 1/0 but I'll take Fredo's word that he's good
4/5 Lee - division: light heavyweight
4/5 Jecht - division: light heavyweight
5/5 Mikemx - division: middleweight
1/5 tony355 - division: lightweight
5/5 Zee - division: light heavy weight- retired permanently to specialize in draughts and has given several master and grandmaster players trouble in 1/0 timer
4/5 Spencer - division: light heavy weight
5/5 Jesse - division: middle weight
4/5 Monica - division: middle weight

Alfredo getting ready for the 2016 United States Nationals

One of the greatest cross board players the ICF has ever produced, Alfredo Mercado, has confirmed that he will be able to come out to Branson, MO in late July. Will he be able to close the gap against the top grandmasters in the next five month? Fredo will be the greatest ICF player ever to compete in a ACF event. I have given Alfredo the latest versions of my databases to help him prepare. A lot of new analysis, corrections and findings has been added to the databases. 

Dr. Jonathan Schaeffer of the University of Alberta and world champion Sergio Scarpetta has been helpful in generating the latest databases. Russian mafia member Alex "fawz" Krasavica also contributed by sending overnight to me the 250 gb 10 piece database, he respects my skills so much as I crushed his brother Erik, a Moscow champion, strip club owner and GMI from the former Soviet Union. And of course this would not be possible without Russian programmer Alexander Svirin who implemented the import function for me in 2007.

Database screen shot:

Will O' the wisp analysis circa 2021:

All of the world's best including world champions Miki Borghetti, Sergio Scarpetta, mngxongos and Alex Mosieyev has been defeated in my variation of the Will o' the Wisp opening. This variation first came into use in Kurnik in 2006 by the great master Darion "the game", who defeated legends Juan and Max on the same day with this line. While briefly noted in Kears as a draw, no further play were given in the literature.

I learned that this opening was named after a phenomenon known as the Will o' the Wisp or Jack o' Lantern, mysterious lights seen at night (which is what inspired the Jack o' Lantern pumpkin carvings during Halloween). The phenomenon is known as Dab Ntxaug in Hmong.

This line was picked up through the Russian database program Aurora late in the last decade and improved on by yours truly. Presented here is the most up to date analysis. A few corrections were found by Doron Howard and so far I've incorporated one of his correction here. There should be no major mistakes along the main lines.

the Chee Social Science Department's analysis of five women recently dealt with, what the experts think

Analysis of five women by the Jeff Social Science Department:

Girl #1: Eye

Status: troll zone, hates me now after I gave her a real reason to hate

Thoughts: This was a girl that reached out to us, is a friendly and flirty girl. She's loud, crazy, wild, outgoing, loves to gamble and sing. Very hot and cold and also a lot of up and downs. Loves to play games (like many girls). Like most girls, she loves attention. Is a heavy drinker (like other Connecticut Hmong girls I know of) and probably has smoked weed. Likes cool men with tattoos and earrings. I sense that she has some things going on in her life and hope that she is doing okay, I want her to be safe and happy, whatever she is doing now or whoever she is with. I like to stay cool and professional in fear of dramas but was pressured to take the number in case she was for real. If for real then she has mistaken my anxiety disorder for a crush so I may have hurt her feelings and she holds a grudge. That makes me feel bad so I still think about her from time to time. I'm glad she went on and found love though. Trolled and got her and her boy good, they were very pissed lol.

Energy vibe: Liberal/non-traditionalist. Extro-introvert. Very energetic but can be very down. Happy sometimes, sad sometimes. Holds grudges and generally more on the negative side which prevents her from reaching her full potential. Shamanic and Christian upbringing. Some college.

Criticisms: If she's going to cry wolf then she needs better boundaries, she's been in trouble several times for being way too close. And of course don't try to play games with me, I have a very good troll game.

Girl #2: Monica

Status: friend zone, close friend, technical adviser, ex-college classmate (University of Minnesota)

Thoughts: Intelligent and strong aggressive personality but very arrogant and untrustworthy. Annoying as fuck, has a lot of issues and anger problems. Very stubborn and unwilling to make compromises or changes in her life. Whenever she text you, it's almost always bad news. It's suspicious that she's always broke with a 67 k job. She was a daughter in law of recently deceased Flip Saunders of the Minnesota Timberwolves and is currently employed in IT as a network engineer in Olmsted County.

Energy vibe: Conservative. Extrovert. Somewhat energetic, kind of polarizing. Lots of dramas and sob stories. Christian upbringing. BS, University of Minnesota (computer science).

Criticisms: Needs to control her sociopathic and nasty attitude. She's a psycho, she's in serious trouble trying to steal money from me and then playing games.

Girl #3: Amy

Status: friend zone

Thoughts: She's a playful and cool Vietnamese girl. I facebook message and text with her once in a while. Worked at same place Eye did but this was before Eye's time, Eye only met me much later but doesn't know that. Ran into her at Walmart, getting married later this year.

Energy vibe: Liberal. Intro-extrovert. Somewhat laid back. Neutral, lending towards positive. Buddhist upbringing. BA, University of Minnesota.

Girl #4: Maria

Status: troll zone, Spanish translator

Thoughts: Very sensitive, emotional and annoying as fuck, I like to piss her off. She'll be mad for a few months then be happy again. She's always wanting to know what I really think of her. Knows a lot about alcohol, narcotics and Cancun. Is a freak when she's drunk. Like most women, she seeks attention and is very insecure although very cocky too. She thinks she's hot and can play games with people or get whatever she wants, I guess it works with most but not with me. Hates how I can see everything including facebook even when I'm blocked, that's why they call me "the investigator". Calls me a "metiche", Spanish for someone who is nosy. She wasn't going to give me any more pictures but I trolled her for this one. She was very happy to hear that I avoided jail time.

Energy vibe: Conservative. Extro-introvert. Somewhat energetic. Somewhat negative, big drama queen. Catholic upbringing. Some college, Monterrey Institute of Technology.

Criticisms: She's always asking for respect but if you don't give respect, you don't get respect and you get put in the troll zone like Eye.

Girl# 5: Mai

Status: friend zone, wing girl

Thoughts: She's a pretty girl and super cool, I have a lot of respect for her. She loves going out to eat good food. Very positive and friendly. There is not a lot of Hmong girls with her charisma and charm. She wanted a hug from me for caring about her. Even if she wanted to date me I wouldn't date her, I have other plans for her. Has great value as a friend/wing girl and I'm going to have to find a girl to go out with soon just so I can have Mai intimidate her to see the reaction lol.

Energy vibe: Liberal. I'll say an intro-extrovert. Somewhat energetic. She's very positive for the most part although has her up and downs like the rest of us. BA in progress, University of Minnesota.

Criticisms: Needs to eat more and gain some weight. Too skinny is not always good.

Vitamin B6 implicated

Biochemical engineers has determined that there is a problem along the metabolic pathway of dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, GABA and gluatamate involving vitamin B6 and possibly enzyme deficiencies. Further testings and analysis are in order. A more thorough hormonal analysis will be carried out in late 2022.

A high protein/low carb diet, weight training, reducing body fat % and taking creatine will raise dihydrotestosterone hormone levels. Dopamine down regulation is also an issue and that is as hard to beat as a drug addiction.

Lorne Wells promoted by the ICF

The ICF has formally promoted Lorne Wells to 1st degree black belt, Grandmaster Lubabalo Kondlo also has been given the red belt recognition by the ICF. 

First of all,  we want to thank Mr.Wells for representing the ICF in the national American freestyle tournament and congratulations on your submission victory over Alex Weaver. Mr.Weaver was the arch rival of my top female student, Celia Puente who is no joke on the mat.

A history of the Chee Social Science Department (Asian Division)

lol my troll supporters, hopefully I don't piss anyone off too bad haha. I am actually a good guy, just really love to mess around. Some of these girls are actually friends and acquaintances that I really respect and don't want to piss off so I changed their names.

Tsewang - now out of her prime, Tsewang is a historically significant figure in the history of the Chee Social Science Department. She was famously investigated by the now disbanded Chee Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 2004. Tsewang has contributed a lot to our understanding of human nature, women and the social sciences. Mistakes made then are no longer being made. We never made peace with Tsewang or Amanda but it's ok, we can leave that in the past. I don't think we have much to learn from them anymore.

Amanda "the beast" - was famous for reporting Chee to the New York division of the FBI in 2004, of course there wasn't anything she could do that I didn't let her do. If you think you can just go over my head, think again. Chee, as always, am calm and composed, aloof and hold no grudges. I am smarter, more powerful, nicer and trickier than you think.

Legendary doobieJ - this kid had all the potential in the world. He joined the Chee Intelligence Agency, jiu-jitsu.net department in 2004. While extremely talented, the less experienced DoobieJ lost an election against Adol of the people's democratic party. DoobieJ's efforts was what led to later leaders such as Adol, Funglool, ninja and GDthetrain's betterment of the Chee Social Science Department, helping to shape it to what it is today circa 2015.

Aly Nguyen: Past advisors such as Ksang Wangmo and her friend had introduced me to social media such as myspace and Asianavenue in the early days but it was Aly who introduced me to Facebook and Korean dramas.

Karlita aka bonissss - her dramas and false accusations led to the disbandment of the Chee Intelligence Agency. We promised not to forcefully investigate anyone anymore after Karlita and only want to understand and help people. Because of this, the Chee Social Science Department was born in 2012. Karlita now works as an adviser and translator for the Mexican division of the Chee Social Science Department. Today she lives happily in Mexico with her husband and daughter (footnote: divorced in 2021).

Eye - this girl's interest in me led me to try to better myself. I had no choice but to turn her down last year and that might have hurt her feelings a little. There was nothing I could do but to improve my life, health and social skills. I will give her a chance one day if possible. This girl led to a rapid expansion of the Chee Social Science department and the natural sciences. Of course she was much better than any Asian girls that came before her.

Mai (left) - Mai is a legendary wing girl for the Chee Social Science Department. Without Eye behaving the way she does, we would have never found Mai. She is a chick that's on your side that you can call upon. The department has come a long way.
