On a board of 32 white and 32 black squares, each player has their 12 colored pieces on the black squares in the first three rows facing them. Each opponent takes turns moving one piece at a time, only on black squares and with some exceptions only forward and only one square at a time. The exception to "only forward" is that once you make it all the way to the other side you are crowned king and may move either direction on the board though still and always only on black squares. The exception to moving only one square at a time is that you may jump directly over one of your opponent's pieces. Once you do this, the piece you have jumped is lost to your opponent and is removed from the board. You may not jump over your own pieces. You must jump over a piece directly adjacent to yours and onto an empty square directly next to the piece you have jumped. When you jump one of your of your opponent's pieces and if you can jump another of your opponent's pieces you can do so until you can't jump anymore but you must enter all the jumps at once at the special 'Multiple Jump' link. So you do multiple jumps when possible especially with a king because they can move backwards and forwards. The object of Checkers. The object of Checkers is to be the last one with game pieces remaining on the board. It is therefore advantageous to jump as many of your opponents pieces as you can while preserving as many of your own as you can. It is also helpful to get as many kings as you can as they have more mobility, which is strategically helpful to you. This version of Checkers. You can do multiple jumps! Just click on the muliple jump link in the window, where you make your normal move and a small window will open where you can enter your multiple jump moves. At this stage I have only added 8 multiple jumps at once, this should be more than enough! Oh and in this version of checkers/draughts you have to jump! so you can force the other player to make a jump. If more than one jump is available the player can choose which one to move. Retire Option You can retire or quit a game giving your opponent the win by clicking on the retire button this also notifies the other player that you have retired and given them the game win. You must also use this retire option if you can't make a move. How to Jump With only one jump use the normal move window! With multiple jumps click on the link 'Multiple Jumps' and use the following format in the window that pops up. ______________________________________________________________ Email Checkers at http://www.kazdivephotos.com/cgi-bin/checkers/checkers.pl Email Chess at http://www.kazdivephotos.com/cgi-bin/chess/board.pl ______________________________________________________________ "Joseph Fagan" <noemailplease@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote in message news:sICdnb-Km94Kr9LYnZ2dnUVZ8tadnZ2d@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Why?
