==History== According to Dutch [[Draughts historians|draughts historian]] Arie van der Stoep, it is unknown where the 10Γ10 square draughts board first came into use. In the Netherlands, the board was probably used from 1550, and the number of pieces was extended to 2Γ20 between 1650 and 1700. The name "Polish draughts" was probably following a Dutch convention of the time that "unnatural" ideas were considered "Polish".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wk2011.kndb.nl/index51cd.html?option=com_content&view=article&id=78&Itemid=107&lang=en |title=History of Draughts |first=Arie |last=Van der Stoep |date=2011 |publisher=Koninklijke Nederlandse Dambond}}</ref>
