About Checkers
How Checkers is played
Each side has twelve men on the dark squares of the first three rows. Men move one square diagonally forward. If an enemy piece is diagonally adjacent with an empty square beyond it, you must jump and capture it, and you must continue jumping in the same turn while further captures are available.
A man that reaches the far rank is crowned a king and may move and capture in all four diagonal directions. You win by capturing every enemy piece or leaving your opponent with no legal move.
