A walkthrough of the rules
- Select a piece, then its legal diagonal destination.
- A capture must be taken when available.
- Continue a jump chain with the same piece; promotion ends that capture turn.
- Kings move and capture diagonally both ways.
Your inputs
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
An adjacent enemy with an empty square beyond it requires a jump rather than a quiet move. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Pay attention to this rule
These are English short-king rules, not international flying kings. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
