The Speed of Strategy

While Chess is a game of calculated positions, Checkers (also known as Draughts) is a game of momentum and traps. The rules are simple—move diagonally, capture by jumping—but as the pieces vanish from the board, the psychological weight of every single move intensifies.

Mastering the Board

• The Power of the Edge: Pieces on the edge of the board cannot be jumped. Move your pieces along the borders for safe passage toward the enemy lines.
• Race for the King: Getting a piece to the opposite end turns it into a King, granting it the ability to move backward. This is often the turning point of any match.
• Forced Jumps: Remember, in most rulesets, if you can jump, you must jump. Use this to force your opponent into unfavorable positions.

Why Play Checkers?

Its fast-paced nature makes it perfect for a quick mental thrill. It sharpens your pattern recognition and forces you to balance aggression with defense. Plus, seeing the board clear up as you execute a double or triple jump is incredibly satisfying.
