The computer analysis is possible thanks to Fabien Letouzey's open source draughts engine Scan 3.1: https://github.com/rhalbersma/scan

Many words of thanks must be expressed to the lichess developers, whose open source work made all of this possible:
- Vincent Velociter (https://github.com/veloce), lead developer of the lichess app which was forked to create the lidraughts app
- Thibault Duplessis (https://github.com/ornicar), creator of lichess.org, without whom there would be no lidraughts.org in the first place
- All others who contributed over the years, too many to mention

Best online checkers app, just if we can have options to choose default variation like Russian or Brazilian on quick pairing

Terrible app. I installed it, and it didn't give me a sign in page, and it showed I was offline. I was absolutely not offline. I'm not sure what's going on, I'd like this to be fixed.
