Checkers

About Checkers

Checkers is a timeless board game that pits two players against each other on an 8x8 grid. Each player moves diagonal pieces with the goal of capturing all opponent pieces or blocking them from moving.

How to Play Checkers

Players take turns moving one piece at a time. Regular pieces move forward diagonally to an empty square. When a piece reaches the opposite side, it becomes a king and can move both forward and backward. Capturing occurs by jumping over an opponent’s piece onto an empty square directly beyond.

Objective

The game ends when one player captures all opposing pieces or leaves the opponent with no legal moves.
