About Checkers

Checkers brings the definitive draughts experience straight to your browser, stripping away any unnecessary fluff to focus entirely on pure strategic gameplay. You take control of a set of circular pieces on a classic grid, engaging in a battle of wits against your opponent where every single diagonal move matters.

The beauty of this digital version lies in its crisp interface and strict adherence to forced capture rules. Because you are obligated to take an opponent's piece if the opportunity presents itself, the board quickly becomes a tense landscape of calculated sacrifices and devastating multi-jump combinations. It is the perfect arena to test your tactical foresight.

Controls

Simply click or tap on the piece you want to move, and then select an available highlighted diagonal square to complete your turn.

Tips

  • Hold your back row: Keep your starting back row intact for as long as possible. This prevents your opponent from easily crowning their pieces into Kings.
  • Sacrifice for position: Sometimes forcing your opponent to jump your piece allows you to pull them into a devastating double or triple jump on your next turn.
  • Play the edges: Moving your pieces along the sides of the board makes them temporarily immune to being captured.
