When capturing an opponent's piece is possible, capturing is mandatory in most official rules. A piece can only move diagonally into an unoccupied square. Only the dark squares of the checkerboard are used. If the adjacent square contains an opponent's piece, and the square immediately beyond it is vacant, the piece may be captured (and removed from the game) by jumping over it. A move consists of moving a piece diagonally to an adjacent unoccupied square. A player cannot move the opponent's pieces. Black moves first, then players alternate turns. One player has dark pieces (usually black) the other has light pieces (usually white or red). From the standard starting position, perfect play by each side would result in a draw.Ĭheckers is played by two opponents on opposite sides of the game board.
