Multiple captures: If a capturing piece lands on a square from
which it can make another capture, then it must do so – as part
of the same move. In the left-hand diagram below, the black
man on a1 must capture the white man on b2, landing on c3.
The same man must then jump to a5 (removing the white man
on
b4), then c7 (removing the man on b6).
In a situation where two different capturing moves are possible, one of which would lead to
the capture of more pieces than the other option, the decision on which option to choose is left
to the player. Note, however, that one of the two moves must be chosen. Here is an example:
The black piece on C3 can capture the white piece on D4
and ends up on E5. with this move, black only captures one
piece. However, from E3, black can capture the white piece
on D4, ends up on C5, takes the white piece on D6 and
finishes its move on E7. Although the latter move by black
captures 2 pieces, black can decide freely which capturing
move should be chosen. Usually (but not always) the best
move is the one that captures the most material.
5.1.4 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. For illustration, here are some examples:
In this position, the black queen on F4 can move to G5, E5,
G3 or E3 since, in contrast to normal pieces, the black queen
also has access to squares E3 and G3, which are inaccessible
to a normal piece on F4.
