CHECKERS ORIGIN

It is not clear the origin of the Checkers board game. There are paintings of the 13th century that depicts a checkered board. Some historians believed that checkers may have been invented around 1000 AD.; The location of the Checkers game origin is probably the south of France and Spain - Hey, a Mediterranean game. There are traces of checkered games in the middle east, but, were they Checkers?

CHECKERS GAME

The game of Checkers or Draughts is played on a board of sixty-four squares of alternate colors, usually referred as black and white although not necessarily of those colors. Twenty-four pieces (fat round counters), called men (twelve on each side) also of opposite colors are located on the game board. The game is played by two persons; the one having the twelve black or red pieces is technically said • to be playing the tint • side, and the other having the twelve white "men", to be playing the second side.

The object of the game is to capture all of the opponent's men, or block them so they cannot be moved, the person whose side is brought to this state loses the game.

CHECKERS GAME RULES
- The checkered board is placed between the two players in a position where the bottom corner square on the left hand shall be black.
- The players will toss a coin at the beginning of the match, and the winner will have the choice of taking the black or white pieces.
- Then each player places his twelve men on the black squares of the first three rows of his respective opposite ends of the board.
- The player with the black men must move first.
- Players take turns to move a piece of their own color. The checkers are moved diagonally forward, left or right, one square at each turn.
- An opponent's piece is capture or taken when the player is able to diagonally jump forward one of his "men" over an opponent's piece and land on an empty square behind. The player may continue jumping and capturing pieces with the same "man" during the same move if possible.
- When a piece reaches the last row on the opposite side of the Checkered Board, it is crowned and becomes a "King". A "King" is a piece "crowned" with another piece of the same color on top. The free online checkers games identify the king with a crown or an image of different color in the center.
- A "King" moves diagonally forward and backward, and also has the power of capturing pieces in both directions.
- A Draw occurs when neither of the players can force a win.
