But there is a checkers game on the same board in Sri Lanka too. It is said that the Canadian checkers game was introduced in Canada during the XIXth century by a traveler who had seen the 10x10 game in Europe, but did not remember exactly the size of the board.
Double corner is on the right of each player.
The men can move on each square forward left and forward right if it is empty. When they arrive on the last line, and stop on it, they become kings. The kings can move on all the squares which are on the 2 diagonals that cross where they are, if there is no piece between them and the arrival square. Captures Maximum captures are compulsory. If they can jump again from the arrival square, they must continue the capture.
