Capturing is mandatory, but the pieces cannot capture backward. The king can only move one square and can move and capture backward.

International Draughts

Capturing is mandatory and all the pieces can capture backward. The queen (king) has long moves which means that, if the square is not blocked, the queen can move any distance diagonally.

Spanish Checkers: Damas 🇪🇸

Known as Spanish Draughts, based on international rules, but the pieces cannot capture backward.

Turkish Checkers: Dama 🇹🇷

Named also Turkish Draughts. The game is played on both light and dark squares of the checkerboard. Pieces start on the second and third rows of a game board. They do not move diagonally but forward and sideways. The way that the kings (queens) move is similar to the chess queens.

Checkers Online: A Classic Strategy Game with Intricate Moves

Checkers Online is a digital adaptation of the classic board game Checkers, offering an engaging and competitive experience for players of all skill levels. The game follows the traditional rules of Checkers, where two opponents move their pieces diagonally across an 8x8 checkered board, aiming to capture their opponent's pieces and eventually "king" their own pieces to gain an advantage.

Gameplay:

Each player begins the game with 12 pieces, which are placed on the dark squares of the board. Players take turns moving their pieces diagonally forward one square at a time. If a player's piece lands on a square occupied by an opponent's piece, they can capture it by jumping over it and removing it from the board.

Capturing and Kinging:

When a piece reaches the opposite side of the board, it becomes a "king." Kings have the ability to move and capture both forward and backward diagonally. If a player has multiple pieces that reach the other side, they become multiple kings.

Strategy and Tactics:

Checkers Online requires strategic thinking and tactical planning. Players must anticipate their opponent's moves, control the center of the board, and protect their pieces from capture. Advanced strategies include sacrificing pieces to gain a positional advantage, creating forks (situations where a piece threatens multiple opponent pieces), and promoting pieces to kings as quickly as possible.

Online Multiplayer:

Checkers Online offers online multiplayer functionality, allowing players to compete against opponents from around the world. Players can join public games or create private matches with friends. The game features a ranking system that matches players with opponents of similar skill levels, ensuring fair and challenging matches.

Variants and Enhancements:

In addition to the classic Checkers rules, Checkers Online also offers several variants and enhancements to cater to different player preferences. These include:

* English Checkers: A variation where captured pieces are removed from the board immediately.

* American Checkers: A variation where captured pieces are left on the board and can be used as obstacles.

* Canadian Checkers: A variant where pieces can only move forward until they reach the opposite side of the board.

* Suicide Checkers: A variant where players must capture their own pieces to win.

Benefits of Playing Checkers Online:

* Cognitive Development: Checkers Online requires logical thinking, spatial reasoning, and strategic planning, which can improve cognitive function.

* Social Interaction: The online multiplayer mode allows players to interact with others and develop social skills.

* Stress Relief: Engaging in a game of Checkers Online can provide a relaxing and enjoyable way to relieve stress.

* Timeless Classic: Checkers is a timeless classic that has been enjoyed for centuries, and Checkers Online offers a convenient and accessible way to experience this classic game.
