Checkers is played on an 8x8 board between two sides commonly known as black and white. The objective is simple - capture all your opponent's pieces. An alternative way to win is to trap your opponent so that they have no valid moves left.
Black starts first and players take it in turns to move their pieces forward across the board diagonally. Should a piece reach the other side of the board the piece becomes a king and can then move diagonally backwards as well as forwards.
Pieces are captured by jumping over them diagonally. More than one enemy piece can be captured in the same turn by the same piece. If you can capture a piece you must capture a piece.
Moves are selected with the arrow keys. Use the [enter] button to select the from and to squares. Invalid moves are ignored.
