One of the all time favourite games is now available online, in a multiplayer format. Classic Checkers pits your strategic skills coupled with quick thinking against that of your opponent’s. So what are you waiting for? White moves first.
|
Checkers is a multi user game for two people. One player plays with white pieces and the
other with black. The player with the white
pieces makes the first move. Pieces move
diagonally and pieces of the opponent are
captured by jumping over them. The playable
surface consists only of the dark squares. |
 Capturing a piece is mandatory and such a
move cannot be passed over. The captured
piece is removed from the board and goes
into the stackbelow. The player who has no
pieces left or cannot move anymore loses
the game. |
The pieces can move one step diagonally
forwards and capture other pieces by making
two steps in the same direction, jumping over
the opponent's piece on the intermediate
square. |
 When a piece reaches the farthest row on the
board it becomes a king, and acquires
additional powers including the ability to move
backwards and capture backwards. |
