8×8Board
How to play
- Men move orthogonally — forward and sideways — one square at a time.
- Kings are "flying": they move and capture across any number of empty squares along a line.
Captures
- Captures are made orthogonally, jumping over an adjacent enemy piece.
- Men may capture forward only.
- Men are allowed to capture kings.
- Capturing is mandatory, and you must take the sequence that captures the most pieces.
- Each captured piece is removed from the board immediately, which can open up further captures in the same sequence.
- Within a multi-capture you may continue straight or turn 90°, but never reverse 180° between two jumps.
- A man that crosses the last row mid-capture stays a man and keeps capturing; it promotes only if the move ends on the last row.
- If a player is left with a single man against the opponent's lone king, the king's side is declared the winner.
