Draughts.io

What inspired you to build this? I’ve always loved classic strategy games — especially chess and draughts. Chess has amazing platforms like Chess.com, but when it comes to draughts, I couldn’t find anything at the same level of quality, depth, and accessibility. I wanted a place where draughts is treated as a serious strategy game, not a forgotten classic. What problem were you trying to solve? Most online draughts platforms are either outdated, too simplistic, or don’t follow international rules properly. Some lack a strong AI, others feel clunky or overloaded. I wanted to solve one simple problem: create a modern, fast, and reliable place where you can play draughts online — against real people or a smart AI — anytime, on any device. How did your approach or process evolve while working on this launch? At first, it was just a personal project for fun. But over time, I focused more on accuracy (official rules), AI strength, and user experience. I stripped away everything unnecessary and concentrated on what really matters: smooth gameplay, fair rules, and pure strategy. The goal became clear — build the kind of draughts platform I always wished existed.
