Maximus: The Premier International Draughts App!

Experience international draughts (or 10x10 checkers) like never before on your tablet or smartphone with Maximus, the 2011 Dutch Open and Olympic computer draughts champion. Available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch, Maximus offers a challenging and engaging gameplay experience for players of all skill levels.

Maximus's impressive pedigree includes a close match against former World Champion Alexander Schwarzman in 2012 (resulting in five draws and one loss) and a third-place finish in the (unofficial) 2019 World Championship Computer Draughts competition (running on a desktop computer). Despite the power difference, Maximus provides a formidable opponent on mobile devices.

Whether you're a seasoned draughts player or a complete beginner, Maximus caters to your needs. Start with a beginner mode to learn the rules (Maximus plays randomly), then progress through ten increasingly challenging training levels. Analyze your games with Maximus to identify weaknesses and improve your strategy. Use Maximus as a travel set, notation book, or even as a substitute player in competitions.
