Object: Capture all your opponent's men ("Checkers") by jumping over them, or stalemate the opponent so he has no moves.
 
Checkers can only move diagonally forward, either by sliding to an adjacent empty square or by jumping over an enemy piece to a vacant square on the other side. Jumping over a piece captures it.
Capturing is mandatory, and you must keep jumping and capturing as long as it is possible.
 
When your Checker reaches the other end of the board, it becomes a King. A King can slide diagonally forward or backwards any number of empty squares. A King captures by sliding a number of empty squares, jumping over a single enemy piece and then land on the empty square behind it.
 
Variant 2: You may pass any additional partial move. I.e. you may stop moving after the first capture.
 
Checkers or `Draughts` has been played since medieval times, but was derived from a much older Arab game, "Alquerque". German Checkers differs from the English version by the King moves.
