How to play
The board. 8×8, and everyone plays on the dark squares. White moves first.
Men move one square diagonally forward onto an empty square.
Capturing. Jump over an enemy piece to the empty square just beyond it. Men can capture backwards as well as forwards. You can keep jumping in the same turn.
Capturing is compulsory, and you must choose the route that takes the most pieces. Pieces that can capture are ringed.
Kings. A man that ends its move on the far row becomes a king. Kings fly: they move any distance along a diagonal, and capture an enemy from a distance, landing on any empty square past it.
Jumped pieces leave the board only when your turn ends, and no piece can be jumped twice in one turn.
Winning. Capture every enemy piece or leave your opponent with no legal move.
Draws. 20 moves each of kings only with no capture, the same position three times, or when both players agree.
