Jump to capture
When a capture is available, you must take it.
Reach the back rank to king
A piece reaching the far edge becomes a king and moves both ways.
Rules
Pieces move diagonally on dark squares. Captures are mandatory, and reaching the far edge crowns a king. Capture every opposing piece or leave the opponent with no legal move to win.
How this checkers board actually plays
Select your piece, then select a highlighted square. Black moves first. Ordinary pieces move one square diagonally forward, and only on the dark squares.
Jump an adjacent opponent when the square immediately beyond is empty. If any capture is available, only captures can be played. You choose which capture when several exist. The game does not force the capture that takes the most pieces.
The turn ends after one jump. The same piece does not continue jumping, even if it could capture again. A piece that lands on the far rank becomes a king immediately and does not jump again as a king on that turn. Kings move one square diagonally in four directions. They do not fly across the board.
You win by capturing every opposing piece or by leaving the opponent with no legal move. This implementation has no draw.
