How to Play Checkers Online

Checkers (also called Draughts) is a classic two-player strategy game played on an 8×8 board. Move your pieces diagonally and capture your opponent's pieces by jumping over them. Reach the back row to king your piece and gain full-board movement.

Checkers Tips

• King your pieces: Getting a piece to the back row creates a powerful king that moves in any diagonal direction.
• Force multi-jump captures: Set up positions where you can jump multiple enemy pieces in a single turn.
• Control the center: Center pieces have more movement options and cut off more of the board.
• Trade wisely: When ahead in pieces, simplify the game; when behind, avoid trades.
