In 2002 there was a match between two great American players - checkers64 and Eastpoint.
It was not an official match but a match nevertheless - the two played 84 exciting games, day after day, month after month.
Both gave as much as they received. There were no quick draws, both players fought to win, demonstrating high skills and topping each other in wits and ingenuity. Each of the players made holes in his opponent's favorite opening lines, and each of them found ways to improve their lines.

To the reader - remember that these games were not official. As such both players felt comfortable experimenting with moves they would not normally make in the official game. Therefore it would be meaningless to judge who was stronger - they ended up about even anyway.
Yet these games are of extremely high quality and studying them can help a willing student to understand the game much deeper.

I took upon myself to add a comment here and there - but it would be a much better idea for the players themselves to comment out a game or two - to let us on the way they think, on their philosophy of the game, on their unique perspective and understanding.
