Indeed, probably the only way to beat the program is to have a solid strategy. Trying for fast paced tactics usually turns the table unfavorably.
The play did play off and i was able to play a friend tonight, a Pulsar player at giveaway, and win at checkers on ICC. I used Lantern Chess on Mac and they used ICC's Popular Blitzin Interface. Here is the game. I mentioned you were considering doing connect to icc in checkers for android. They had not played in awhile so it was not as strong as a game as i bet i get if there are more checkers games going on on icc.

looks like icc messed up the PGN. i won as black but it was 1-0.
Well there help file says
Being a chess site, we've implemented checkers with minimal fuss and won't
be introducing much of any new features, much less variants of
checkers, etc. We also aren't following any rigorous international standards,
so please keep your suggestions in line with that. Important: checkers can be
played with ICC for Mac/Windows and Blitzin. Dasher is unfortunately not
supported and it's unlikely to ever be. Dasher users are kindly asked to
upgrade to ICC for Mac/Windows or download Blitzin if they wish to enjoy
checkers.
