How to Play Checkers PDF
Playing Checkers PDF follows the classic rules of checkers. Click on a piece to select it, then click on a valid destination square to move. Pieces move diagonally forward one square, or jump over opponent pieces to capture them. When a piece reaches the opposite end of the board, it becomes a king and can move in any diagonal direction. The game continues until one player captures all opponent pieces or blocks all possible moves. Use your strategic thinking to outmaneuver your opponent!
