Checkers rules in 30 seconds

  • Move one square diagonally forward, on the dark squares only.
  • Jump an enemy piece next to you to capture it – and keep jumping if you can.
  • You must capture whenever a capture is available.
  • Reach the far row and your piece is crowned a king, which moves backwards too.
  • You win by taking every enemy piece, or by leaving your opponent with no legal move.

Frequently asked questions

How strong is the computer?
Easy and Medium are for beginners and kids. Hard and Expert look several moves ahead. Master, Grandmaster and Legend use the open-source Marcher Engine, one of the strongest freely available checkers programs, and unlock one at a time as you beat the level below.
Can I take back a move?
Yes. Undo takes back your last move and the computer's reply, and redo puts it back. Using undo or the hint still counts – you can unlock the next level with them.
Do I need an account or a download?
No. Everything runs in your browser on phone, tablet or PC, and your current game, settings and unlocked levels are saved on your device automatically.
