Checkers: how to play

Checkers is a board game for two players. Here you play the red pieces against the computer.

Controls

Rules

  • Pieces move one square diagonally forward.
  • If you can capture, you must; chained captures continue by themselves.
  • On reaching the last row, a piece is crowned.
  • You win by leaving your opponent with no pieces or no moves.

Tips

  • Keep your back row as long as possible.
  • Trading pieces favours you when you are ahead.
