Bring this focus to a round
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What counts as success
Capture or immobilise all opposing pieces under English draughts rules. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Making your moves
- 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.
Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an 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. Check the stated objective.
An important reminder
These are English short-king rules, not international flying kings. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
