Checkers Komputer - a checkers playing AI, built as a warm up for other games.
For the website http://gamesbyemail.com/Games/Checkers#Preview by Scott Nesin, to play the game Checkers, versus a computer opponent, under the game Preview tab. If you visit, be sure to check out the GBE homepage, which has clones of games like Risk and Diplomacy, as well as checkers, chess, and many (close to 100) indie titles.
This AI opponent uses a MCTS-PUCT* based algorithm, which may be applied to other games in the future, like for the online clone of Viktory II, for which I wrote another, fairly fun AI script here:

* MCTS-PUCT Stands for Monte Carlo Tree Search with Predictive Upper Confidence bounds for Trees - made famous as part of the AlphaZero algorithm, although this version uses a far less complex crafted heuristic for Checkers rather than a neural network, although net versions have been trained and may come later.

There's also a standalone console version for testing various versions of the AI here:

Have a good one.
