How to play? Checkers is played by one player playing against Android or two players on opposite sides of a playing board, alternating moves. The opponent's pieces are captured by jumping over them. An uncrowned piece may only jump diagonally forwards, kings may also jump diagonally backwards. A piece that is jumped is captured and removed from the board. Multiple-jump moves are possible if when the jumping piece lands, there is another immediate piece that can be jumped; even if the jump is in a different direction. Jumping is mandatory – whenever a player has the option to jump, that person must jump (even if it's to the jumping player's disadvantage). Any piece, whether it is a king or not, can jump a king. If a player's piece moves into the kings row on the opposing player's side of the board, that piece is said to be crowned (or kinged), becoming a king and gaining the ability to move both forwards and backwards. If a player's piece jumps into the kings row, the current move terminates; having just been crowned, the piece cannot continue on by jumping back out (as in a multiple jump), until the next move. A player wins by capturing all of the opposing player's pieces.

Checkers originates back to ancient Egypt and is one of the oldest games known to men.

Checkers can also be called English draughts, American checkers, straight checkers, draughts, damas, dama, dame or damka.
