Jgbaxter: /* Draws */ tab

== Objective of the Game==

Checkers, also known as 'draughts', is a timeless abstract strategy game for two players dating back almost a thousand years. In the game you move your pieces until you've jumped over all pieces of your opponent and have removed them from the board. Players move one piece diagonally at a time in alternating play (starting with light). All references to squares refer to the dark squares only. The board is an 8 by 8 square of squares in alternating light or dark colours. Players should set up pieces on the 12 dark squares in the first three rows closest to them (the light spaces are completely ignored in the game), setting up three rows of 4 checkers.

==Moving & Capturing==

Take turns moving a checker one space diagonally forward towards the opponent's side of the board on a square that contains no checkers of either player. You may 'jump' your opponents checkers by making a capturing move if your checker is located at most one space behind your opponent's checker (on your side). When capturing you jump over the checker moving two spaces in the same direction and then remove their piece from the game. Capturing multiple pieces using multiple jumps in the same turn is a key part of the game, when doing so you may change which direction they're moving diagonally, but they must still always move forward.

:* If you have the opportunity to jump your opponent's checker, you must.
:* You may continue capturing subsequent checkers until there are no more possible captures.
:* If you have the opportunity to jump a choice of opponent's checkers, you may choose which but must capture one of them.

==Kings==

When one of your pieces reaches the end of the opponent's board that piece is upgraded to a king, these may move in either direction now.

:* Kings may move forward or backward diagonally.
:* Kings can still only move one diagonal space at a time unless capturing.
:* Kings may move both forward and backward in the same turn when capturing.

==Winning==

Complete ''one'' of the following three objectives;

:* Capture all of an opponent's pieces.

'''or'''

:* Block all your opponent's pieces so they can't make any more moves.

'''or'''

:* Have all your pieces on the opponent's far end of the board (your opponent will need to have captured half or more of your pieces).

==Draws==

A draw is declared if ''any'' of these conditions occur;

:* A game is a draw if neither opponent has the possibility to win the game.

'''or'''

:* The game is considered a draw when the same situation repeats itself for the third time (not necessarily consecutive).

'''or'''

:* A one king against one king endgame is often declared a draw.

==Strategy==

:* Be aggressive, you are more likely to win. Playing to the board sides are safer though without reward.
:* Forward- always forward, it's alright to lose pieces as long as you take the opponent's, save your kings.
:* Safety in numbers, don't leave your pieces alone, move them one after another in small groups to protect them.
:* Protect the rear, protect forward or don't move your end row pieces as long as possible to prevent opponent's kings.
:* Sacrifice when needed. draw out your opponent so you can get 2-1 trades the following turn, don't expose your kings without reward.
:* Each king you get is a huge bonus, try to get as many as possible and don't waste them, sacrificing several pieces for a king can be alright.
:* Don't forget to block your opponent when possible, you make not only that piece vulnerable but fail to protect it with a counter and give your opponent the chance to take multiple of your pieces in one turn.
