They wouldn't be publishing partial results in _Science_
under the title ``Checkers is Solved.''

As I have not seen that magazine, I have no idea
whether or not "they" (whoever they are) would likely
place such an article under such a name.

The obvious google search [ checkers science magazine ]
[http://www.google.com/search?q=Check...ence+magazine]
brings you right to it:

Er, no it doesn't! That search yields nearly 1.5 million
hits from which to choose. LOL!

The VERY FIRST ONE was _Science_ magazine (Google even gives
you a special "I'm feeling lucky" button...) and ONE CLICK
brought me to the title "Checkers is Solved" I would have
taken you less time to do that then to write the paragraph
above confessing your ignorance.

The rest of your comments are arguing with the wording
of newspaper and magazine articles. Feel free to address
any criticisms of them to the respective authors.
