The issues faced by this is that people can't buy 10x10 boards
anywhere.


For some values of "anywhere". They're standard in continental Europe
AFAICT. My Dutch wife's chess/checkers board has 8x8 on one side and
10x10 on the other. She expressed surprise that I expressed surprise,
she not having realised checkers was played on anything other than 10x10
and me not realising it wasn't always played on a chess board.


A British friend was very keen on 10x10 checkers. But she had
difficulty finding information about it on the web. A Google search
using its French name "dames" yielded many hits, none of them at all
relevant.
