What are the rules for capturing in checkers? +
To capture an opponent's piece, jump over it diagonally to an empty square on the other side. If another capture is available after landing, you must continue jumping in the same turn. This "multi-jump" rule adds an exciting layer of strategy to every move.
How do I create a King piece? +
When one of your regular pieces reaches the last row on your opponent's side of the board, it gets promoted to a King. Kings are more powerful because they can move and capture both forward and backward diagonally, giving you a significant tactical advantage.
