Second you should never assume who voted on a post. I have made no votes on this question at all and did not provide the downvote for this answer that was someone else. Third you should never instruct or even recommend someone on what to do with their votes. My apologies, comment retracted. My concern was that a new user had been instantly downvoted when it didn't seem warranted, and that it might drive the new user away from the site. I should have learned from past experiences not to get involved in things like this.

Even if you often play, the game will surprise you. Draughts have many national variants, so you can also change the rules according to which you play. Are you going to decide on mandatory capture? Do you want the king to move any distance diagonally i. Depending on the rules, pieces are also able or not able to capture backwards. Changing the rules is a good way to vary the game, which will be a great exercise for your brain.
What all variants of draughts have in common is the board - similar to the chessboard. Also at the beginning of the game, each player has the same number of pieces. In most variants, players place their pieces and play the game using black fields, although there are exceptions to this rule.
This also results in the configuration of the board - usually the first field on the left side of each player is a dark one. However, everyone who begins their adventure with draughts should remember that the rules followed by people in different countries are not the same. A Spaniard likes to play according to his rules, but most likely a Brazilian or an American will choose different ones.
If, in addition to the general rules, you are also looking for more detailed information about game variants, you've reached the right place Check Variety of draughts - did you know that draughts game rules may differ?
Who starts the game? White pieces but The first move belongs to the player using white pieces. Players take turns every single move and the player is permitted to move only his own pieces.
In general, pieces can be moved diagonally, forward and be placed on the empty field in the next row. Still, there are exceptions to this rule, e. Turkish draughts. Less experienced players often wonder if a piece can move back. The rules clearly emphasize that moving back is not allowed. King also named a queen is a special piece, which can move differently to all the other pieces - and anyone who has ever tried to play draughts, knows how important it is to get a king, as well as how the king can help to win quickly.
But none of the pieces has these exceptional privileges at the beginning of the game. It takes a lot of effort to make a piece to become a king - your piece needs to walk through the entire board, reach the promotion line the most distant row on the opponent's side and stop on it. Draughts that are taken or captured are immediately removed from the board and when the piece finally comes to rest the turn is finished. Single checkers can still jump over kings, just as they can jump over single checkers.
Uncrowned pieces can move diagonally forward only; kings can move in any diagonal direction. Men can jump diagonally forward only; kings can jump in any diagonal direction. Any piece, king or man, can jump a king. Huffing is a rule used in some board games, such as Alquerque, Asalto and traditional and informal English draughts checkers.
By this rule, a player who fails to make a capturing move when one is available is penalised by having the piece that could have performed the capture huffed, i. If, after making a capture, a piece is in a position to make another capture either along the same diagonal or a different one it must do so, all as part of the same turn.
