Checkers On The Same Browser

Checkers is a two-person game. You’ll need a standard checkerboard with 12 checkers per player to start.
Choose who will go first. If this isn't your first match, typically the person who won the last game is the one to go first. A board comes with two different colors of checkers — often a combination of red, black or white. The player who goes first will take the dark-colored checkers (red in this illustration), and the other player will take the remaining color (white).

Players sit on opposite ends of the board. The board is made of alternating light and dark squares. Place your checkers in the dark spaces so there is an empty light square in the right corner for each player. There should be three rows of four checkers each, placed only in dark squares.

There are three important checker move rules:

1. Checkers can only move diagonally on dark squares.
2. At the start of the game, checkers can only move forward, meaning toward the opposite player’s side.
3. Checkers may move up and down when they become “kings” by reaching the last row of the opposite side.

There are a few strategies you can implement to have a stronger game.

You should keep control of the center of the board.
Building a pyramid shape will allow you to protect the back row.
You should keep your checkers close to one another.
Only capture pieces that do not put your checkers in danger.
Do not be afraid to sacrifice a checker to set up for captures.
Defending is also a great way to win. You can block off all your opponent’s pieces so they are unable to move.
