Checkers

Introduction to Checkers

Checkers stands as a classic board game enjoyed across generations. It unfolds on an eight by eight grid of alternating dark and light squares. Each player controls twelve pieces in a matching color. Movement travels along diagonal lines toward the opposite side.

The goal lies in removing all opposing pieces or blocking every possible move. A capture happens by jumping an adjacent rival piece into an empty square. Each action reshapes board control and opens fresh challenges. Strategy builds from predicting the opponent’s next slide or leap.

Winning demands planning turns ahead and spotting chances on both halves of the board. Some versions tweak the starting setup or alter capture moves. A simple opening leads into deep tactical battles in each match. Beginners and veterans discover new challenges in every game.
