Ok, a while back i was working on a checkers program that plays through =
games, anyways the moves are loaded from a text file by Source =
Destination so one move would be: 11 15
is there any way possible to add another part to define a number (or =
numbers) that was 'jumped' over. like maybe have the text file something =
like: 25 18 [22] (22 being the piece that was jumped..) it would need =
to be able to hold multiple numbers for jumps capturing 2 or more =
pieces... any ideas?

You shouldn't need to. Because of the rules of checkers, if the source and
destination squares aren't adjacent, it must have been a jump, so the
intervening space can be calculated. For a multiple jump, I would simply
record each jump as though it was a separate move, with the opponent not
moving between them.
