The Rules : Checkers is played on the dark squares only. A piece may move one square at a time, diagonally. If one of your pieces is next to one of your opponent s pieces and the square beyond it is free, you are required to jump over the opponent s piece.

The opponent s piece is then removed from the board. It is possible to jump many times in a row with the same piece, capturing several of your opponent s pieces.

In the beginning, pieces can only move and jump forward. However, if a piece reaches the far end of the board then it becomes a king. (In checkers, a king is usually signified by stacking two checkers one on top of the other. In this program, the king has a crown on it).

A king is allowed to move and jump diagonally backwards and forwards. Kings can be captured like any other piece. A game is won when a player captures all his opponents men, or renders them unable to move.
