Rules for a checker game

In France, around the year , the idea of playing checkers on a chess board was born. In doing so, the number of pieces expanded to 12 per side of the board. Suicide checkers , or as it it sometimes called Anti-checkers , is played reverse of regular checkers. The winner of checkers in this variation is the player whose pieces are all captured first or is unable to move legally. The player with the light pieces does place them on fields At the start of the game, the player with the dark pieces goes first.

Those are most commonly called black and white or red and white. There are 4 types of moves: the ordinary move of a man, the ordinary move of a king, the capturing move of a man and the capturing move of a king. In checkers, all jumps must be taken.

A jump must be made only over an adjacent piece. A piece cannot jump over empty squares. The jumped piece is then captured and removed from the board. An ordinary move of a man is its transfer diagonally forward left or right from one square to an immediately neighboring vacant square. This will be the case even if he jumps into the king-row and could jump out of the king-row.

The man can be crowned by either player by placing a man of the same colour on top of it before the next move is made. A player can also win if the other player resigns or forfeits the game as a result of a violation of the rules. Diagonally in the forward direction towards the opponent to the next dark square. If there is one of the opponent's pieces next to a piece and an empty space on the other side, you jump your opponent and remove their piece.

You can do multiple jumps if they are lined up in the forward direction. King Pieces: The last row is called the king row. If you get a piece across the board to the opponent's king row, that piece becomes a king.

Another piece is placed onto that piece so it is now two pieces high. King pieces can move in both directions, forward and backward. Once a piece is kinged, the player must wait until the next turn to jump out of the king row. If neither player can move then it is a draw or a tie.
