Why are checkers red and black?

One of the black checkers represents the fox, and four of the red checkers represent the hunters. The object of the game is to have the fox break through the line of hunters, or on the other hand, the player who is called the hunter tries to corner the hunted (the fox) so that he cannot move.

A lot of variations allow capturing backwards with regular pieces (called men). The English variation is probably the most common that doesn’t allow backwards capturing. By the international rules, capturing backwards is allowed (and mandatory if it results in the largest capture group).

Can a king jump 2 pieces in Checkers?

A King can move in any direction and ‘jump’ in any direction one or more pieces, as the limits of the board permit. The King can only jump diagonally over one adjacent piece at a time, in any of the four diagonal directions. Multiple jumps apply to kings as well. A clock is used to limit the length of a game.

What happens if you miss a jump in checkers?

The idea of the huff was that if a player refused to make an available jump, the opposing player could remove the piece that should have jumped. In modern checkers, all jumps must be taken. A player wins by either capturing all of the other player’s pieces or putting them into a position where they cannot move.
