ZVEZDELINA: It's a game Attributed to John Conway, a mathematician at Princeton, and it is called Conway checkers. Conway checkers is a game which is played on an infinite board. So it's infinite in all directions. You take a line, and you put it somewhere in the middle of your board and you're not going to move it. And then what you do is you take a few checkers and you place them underneath the line. Anywhere you like, it's totally random. It's up to you what you want to do. And then you start playing by simplified checker rules. There is only one type of move: you can jump over an adjacent checker... and then disappear that checker. So I can jump vertically or I can jump horizontally. And I can do this left, right, up, or dow...
