Checkers – Classic Strategy Game
About Checkers – Classic Strategy Game
Checkers, also known as Draughts, is one of the oldest board games still played today. Played on an 8×8 board, each player starts with 12 pieces on dark squares. Pieces move diagonally, and reaching the opponent’s back row promotes a piece to a king with enhanced movement.
How to Play
Click your piece to select it, then click a highlighted green circle to move. Regular pieces move one square diagonally forward. Jump over an opponent’s piece to capture it. Reaching the far end promotes your piece to a king, which can move and capture in all diagonal directions.
Tips and Strategy
- Force jumps. If a jump is available, you must take it — plan accordingly.
- Protect your back row. Keep back-row pieces in place to prevent opponent kings.
- Control the center. Central pieces have more mobility and options.
- Push for kings. Kings are far more powerful — prioritize getting promoted.
