About International draughts

International draughts is the 10x10 version of checkers played in tournaments around the world. Each side starts with pieces on the dark squares of its first four rows, and white moves first. A regular piece moves one square diagonally forward, while a king can travel any distance along a diagonal. Capturing is mandatory whenever it's possible, which makes long jump combinations a big part of the game. You win by capturing all of your opponent's pieces or leaving them with no legal move. Play the computer, a friend on the same device or an online opponent. Before each move, check which captures you'd be forcing on yourself on the next turn.
