Turkish 8x8 checkers
are mainly played .... in The rules This game is very
different from all other checkers variants in the world. The first big
difference is in the starting position : Double corner is on
the right of each player and white side begins. Moves of the men The men can move one square forward on the file, or sideward on the
rank. They become king when they reach the last line. Moves of the kings The kings can move at any distance on an open line in any direction (vertical,
horizontal). Captures Maximum captures are
compulsory. That means that if you can capture 2 pieces with a piece (man or
king), and 3 with another one, you must choose the 3 pieces capture. Each captured piece is
removed from the board before the captor continues jumping ; its removal may
therefore open up additional captures previously impossible. Capture by a man The man captures in any of the same directions that it can go; and it
must continue jumping so long as possible. Capture by a king A king captures in any
direction (like it moves), by jumping to the adjacent vacant square beyond an
adverse piece, any distance away. Who wins, who loses
? The loser is the one
who cannot move any more (no piece or all pieces blocked). The winner is his opponent,
of course. There may be draw
if : -opponents agree for a
draw - the same position is
encountered 3 times. |
