Sparse Checkers is a variant of regular American
Checkers.
The rules are exactly the same as regular checkers. The only differences
are in the size of the board and the number of pieces allotted--it is played
on a bigger game board (10x10 instead of 8x8), and there are more pieces
(15 for each player instead of 12). The size of the board is the
same as it is for Crowded Checkers, but each player has one row less
of pieces--this allows for a much more open (sparse, duh) game.
