By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID

WASHINGTON (AP) - Perhaps Chinook, the checker-playing computer
program, should be renamed ``King Me.'' Canadian researchers report
they have ``solved'' checkers, developing a program that cannot lose
in a game popular with young and old alike for more than athousand
years.``The program can achieve at least a draw against any
opponent,playing either the black or white pieces,'' the researchers
say in this week's online edition of the journal Science.
