How to Play

To play, you control white checkers. A simple checker moves one square diagonally forward. When it reaches the opposite back row, it becomes a queen. A queen moves diagonally any number of squares forward or backward. Captures are mandatory: if you can capture an opponent piece, you must. Simple checkers capture by jumping over an adjacent piece to an empty square behind, and can capture forward and backward. Queens capture by jumping over a piece and landing on any empty square beyond in the same line. Win by capturing all opponent pieces or leaving them with no legal moves.
