International Draughts (or Polish Draughts) is a draughts variant played on a 10×10 board. The game is popular in the Netherlands, France, Belgium, the former USSR, and some parts of Africa. In contrast to English Draughts (Checkers) the game is far from being solved.

Here, Mark Winands has developed the draughts program Rocky in order to test novel search algorithms. The program participated in the last two Computer Olympiads.
