Tactical briefing

Know the board. Own the match.

How to Play

  1. 01Move one green or ivory checker diagonally forward onto an adjacent empty dark square.
  2. 02If a capture is available, you must jump the opposing checker and remove it from the board.
  3. 03Continue jumping with the same checker until no further capture is available. When several routes exist, choose any complete route.
  4. 04Reach the opposite king row to crown a checker. Kings move and capture one step in either diagonal direction.

Winning Conditions

Capture every opposing checker or leave your opponent without a legal move. Repeated positions and forty moves per player without a capture or advancing man are draws.

Fair play, pure skill

Checkers is matched by skill, protected by anti-cheat, and decided by strategy — never luck.
