8.2.4 The king and how it moves
When a man reaches the far side of the board it is immediately “crowned” –
promoted to a king. (To show
this on a traditional Checkers board, we place one man on top of another.) Kings can move (and capture)
backwards as well as forwards.
Here White has a king on d2 and Black has a king
on a5. If it is White to move, his king may go to c1,
e1, c3 or e3. If it is Black’s move, his king on a5 will
jump to c3, capturing the white man on b4. It can
then jump to e5 (capturing the man on d4), or else
to e1 (capturing the king on d2).
Note
: If a man lands on its crowning square by
making a capture, it may not capture another
enemy piece as part of the same move.
8.3 HOW TO PLAY REVERSI
8.3.1 The board and pieces
In Reversi the players use a set of 64 discs, or playing pieces, which are coloured white on one side and black
on the other. At the start, the 8x8 board is empty. One player (“Black”) has 32 pieces with the black side
turned up. His opponent (“White”) has 32 pieces
with the white side showing.
Whenever it is his turn, a player places one of his pieces, with his own colour uppermost, on a vacant square
of the board
–
provided he can do so according to the rules which will be explained.
