A king can jump diagonally, forward or backward. A piece which is not a king, can only jump diagonally forward. You can make a multiple jump see the diagram on the right , with one piece only, by jumping to empty square to empty square. In this manner, can a king be killed in Checkers? If you land on a square where you can kill another opponent piece you must jump over that piece as well, immediately. One turn can kill many pieces. In the illustration the white queen has the black king in check, and all of the spaces where the king can move can be attacked by the queen.
There is no penalty for making an illegal move, besides the move being taken away from the player and any kings improperly taken by the move being placed back in their original position. Players must always take any jump that they can when it is available.
This is no different when a single checker jumps a king. The single checker must make any jump that presents itself during the game. This is a tactic with the king that players can use to whittle down their opponents' checkers.
Placing a king in front of a single checker when other jumps are available will make the king look very appealing. However, having a well-defended checker behind the jumped king will make the opponent lose their single checker.
This can be a downside to the opponent with a king, however. Checkers can not jump Kings. When moving and not jumping, Kings can only move one square at a time in any direction to an empty space along a diagonal. They can not move unlimited distances along a diagonal, as in International Checkers. When jumping, Kings can only jump adjacent pieces. They can not jump any distance as in International Checkers.
When jumping, Kings must land in the next square beyond the piece they jump over. If there is no empty square immediately beyond the piece to be jumped, then that jump is not possible. In other words, Italian Checkers is just like American Checkers except that in Italian Checkers, the checkers can not jump the Kings; and White has the first move.
You do not wait until the end of the turn to remove all the pieces that have been jumped over. This sometimes allows a piece to make more jumps in a turn than it would in standard International Checkers. When a checker lands on the back row after a jump and becomes a King, if there is a jump available to it as a King, it must continue jumping as a King in the same turn.
If a checker reaches the back row on a regular move not a jump and becomes a King, it may not make any jumps in that turn. If more than one of your pieces has a jump available at the start of a turn, you do not have to jump with the piece that has the most jumps. Instead, you can choose which piece will take its jumps. Once you start jumping with a piece, it must finish all of its jumps. Here is a brief explanation. Look in the menu column on the left side of the screen.
Near the top under 'Play' you will see 'Start Game. If you choose checkers, a game board will appear. In most versions of International Checkers, you will have the first move as White. You have the option of making your first move as soon as you post the game to the waiting room, before an opponent has joined your game. To make this first move, click on a piece; then click on a place to move it to; then click 'Submit' beneath the game board.
The game will be placed in the Waiting Room where it waits for an opponent. When an opponent picks up the game, the game will reappear on your game status page in the list where it's your turn to move. If it is your turn, you will see blue outlines around the checkers that your opponent moved in his last turn. The only advantage to kinging a piece is that it is able to move both Forward and Backward.
Players take turns moving one checker per turn. A piece can move one space sideways, forward, or diagonally towards the opposing home space. The move may consist of moving one piece into the adjacent empty hole, the piece may jump over one adjacent piece into a empty hole, or can make two or more multiple jumps.
The player can jump over their own pieces, or over the pieces of any of the other players. The idea of the huff was that if a player refused to make an available jump, the opposing player could remove the piece that should have jumped. In modern checkers, all jumps must be taken.
The forced-jump rule forms the basis of all tactics in the game of checkers, as it allows one player to control the tempo of the game and thus the position on the board. If a player is put in a position where they cannot move, they lose. If the players have the same amount of pieces, the player with the most double pieces wins. If the players have an equal number of pieces and the same number of double pieces the game is a draw. On the English or American checkers mode, which is the one played on the website, kings can move either forward and backward, but one square only.
In chess, time the initiative is very important, being the first player to move is an advantage. This is true, to a lesser extent, in checkers. Moving first is an advantage. But as the game goes on, most possible moves are weak.
Cheating in chess is a serious issue. The issue is magnified online, where there is no arbiter to physically observe play.
