How to play Checkers Draughts and basic game rules:

The game is played by two opponents who faces each other on opposite sides of the checkers gameboard. One of the players has the dark colour pieces and the other one has the light colour pieces.

The two players alternate turns in the game. It is not legal to move an opponents piece. A player can move a piece diagonally to an adjacent unoccupied square. If one of the opponents pieces occupy that adjacent square, and the square immediately beyond it is vacant, the opponents piece may be captured and removed from the game by jumping over it.

When one of the pieces reaches the other side of the board (the row farthest from the player), called the kings row or crownhead, the piece will become king and is marked by adding an additional piece on top of it. In this app the kings are marked with a crown. Kings have the ability to move and capture backwards as well as forwards.

It is only legal to move pieces on the dark squares of the checkers board. A piece may move only diagonally into an unoccupied square and capturing an opponents piece is mandatory in most official rules. The player without pieces remaining, or who cannot move, loses the game.

Checkers is also known as Draughts. It is thought to have originated from an ancient game called Alquerque or Qirkat.
