If you want to play the red pieces, start by moving a red piece. If you want to play the white pieces, click anywhere on the upper half of the board then the computer will move a red piece. Moving Pieces Use the mouse to drag a piece where you want it to go. When you jump multiple pieces, you need to drag your piece over the first piece you want to jump, and into the empty square beyond it, and then continue dragging over the second piece you want to jump, and into the empty square beyond that. Do not release the mouse button until you are finished making all your jumps.
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.
