Focus on one rule
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Capture or immobilise all opposing pieces under English draughts rules. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Select a piece, then its legal diagonal destination.
- A capture must be taken when available.
- Continue a jump chain with the same piece; promotion ends that capture turn.
- Kings move and capture diagonally both ways.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
An adjacent enemy with an empty square beyond it requires a jump rather than a quiet move. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
These are English short-king rules, not international flying kings. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
