How did start Chinese Checkers online - Part 2 The beginning In July 2020, I went back to France for a holiday in my native town. At this time, I was still working on Bifup but decided to take half of my free time working on Chinese Checkers online. Many years before, I repeated this pattern. I was starting to work on a project and then giving up to work on a new idea. As a result, I was swimming in the dead sea. (not moving further enough to see the result of my work). I told myself, "not again. This time, I will start small to test the idea.". In September 2020, I worked on the prototype of Chinese Checkers online. At this time, the project was bugged, but I noticed two players registering. I was not even on the third page of Google results. These players were very motivated to try. I was pleased but could not believe it. (first time where one of my ideas was helpful to someone else). The following month, 30 players registered. At this time, I decided to put a break on Bifup and use my entire free time to develop Chinese Checkers online. Month after month, bugs have been fixed, new features added. Finally, on the motorway. In September 2021, we celebrated the first year of Chinese Checkers online. More than ten thousand players joined us this year (crazy). We built Julia, our AI, and created a new mode called "solo." We also released our mobile app available on iOS and Android and the forum. Here we are, the end of the beginning. I now have big plans for Chinese Checkers online and will be glad to share the ride with you. Best, Alexandre

The beginning In July 2020 I returned to France for a vacation in my hometown. At that time I was still working on Bifup but decided to devote half of my free time to working the Chinese online checker. Many years earlier I repeated this pattern. I started working on a project, then gave up working on a new idea. As a result, I was swimming in the Dead Sea. (not moving enough to see the result of my work). I said to myself "not yet.This time, I'll start small to test the idea. “In September 2020, I worked on the prototype of the Chinese ladies online. At that time the project was haunted, but I noticed that two players were signing up. I wasn't even on the third page of Google results. These players were very motivated. to try.I was happy but I couldn't believe it. (first time that one of my ideas was useful to someone else). The following month, 30 players signed up. Right now I have decided to take a break from Bifup and use all my free time to develop Chinese drafts online. Month after month, the bugs were fixed, new features were added. Finally, on the highway. In September 2021, we celebrated the first year of Chinese ladies online. More than ten thousand (crazy) players have joined us this year. We created Julia, our artificial intelligence, and created a new mode called "single player". We have also released our mobile app available on iOS and Android and the forum. Here we are, the end of the beginning. Now I have big plans for Chinese ladies online and I will be happy to share the trip with you. Best, Alexandre
