FAQ

How do you play checkers?

Checkers is played on a square board, and each player starts with 12 pieces. The goal is to capture all of your opponent's pieces or block them from making any legal moves.

What are the basic rules of checkers?

Each piece can only move diagonally forward. Regular moves involve moving one space diagonally, while capturing moves involve jumping over an opponent's piece to remove it from the board. Kings can move and capture both forward and backward.

Can a single checker be kinged multiple times?

No, once a checker reaches the last row on the opponent's side, it becomes a king and cannot be promoted further.

What happens if there are no possible moves left?

If a player has no legal moves, they lose the game. This can occur when all their pieces are blocked or captured.

What is a draw in checkers?

A draw can occur if both players agree to it, or when the same position is repeated three times with the same player to move.

Can a king be captured in checkers?

Yes, kings can be captured just like regular pieces. The opponent must jump over the king to capture it.

Is there a time limit for making a move in checkers?

In regular friendly games, there is usually no time limit. However, in competitive play or online platforms, there may be specific time limits for each player's turn.

Can pieces move backward in checkers?

Regular pieces can only move forward diagonally. However, kings have the ability to move backward as well as forward.

Can a piece that can capture in a certain turn choose not to?

No, if a player has the opportunity to capture an opponent's piece, they must do so. Multiple captures in one turn are allowed and often strategically advantageous.

Are there different variations of checkers?

Yes, there are several variations of checkers played around the world, such as International Draughts, Canadian Checkers, Brazilian Checkers, and more. Each variation may have slightly different rules.
