Checkers rules 1y3f27
Game start 60403d
The checkers game is played with 2 players on a board (very similar to the chess one) of 8x8 squares of alternating colors. At the beginning of the match each player starts with 12 pieces distributed as the following image shows. These pieces are called men. 1d6jt
Turns and movements 6r161y
Each turn the player moves one of his pieces forward and diagonally one square only. The player can (and must) eat or capture an opponent’s man when the opposing man occupies the next square and there isn’t any other man on the next square.
When it’s always possible the player must eat/capture an opposing piece. When he does it, if it’s possible to capture again he’s forced to do another capture move.
Kings 2i273x
When a man reaches the last row of the board, it will convert into a king. On the English or American checkers mode, which is the one played on the website, kings can move either forward and backward, but one square only. It’s also mandatory to eat whenever possible.
Capture rules 2p1y3j
- If a player transforms a man into a king in a capture movement, the turn will end even if it’s possible to keep capturing.
- Unlike other modes, the player can’t choose not to capture a piece if it’s possible to do it, not even by sacrificing his piece. There’s no sacrifice option in the English/American checkers (draughts).
- If the player can choose between several capture options, there is no need to choose a specific option in particular.
- Men can only capture by moving forward.
End of the match 2s321f
The player wins when he has captured all the opposing pieces or when his opponent can’t do any movements by being blocked.
Draw 2y3x55
The English/American variant always allows that a game ends, so that a draw isn’t mandatory. The game can only ends in a draw if both players choose and accept.
