Just in case you forgot we are going to remind you the rules:

                                                                                          

1. White checkers begin the game;       

                                 

2. Checkers play & hit only forward and cornerwise;

 

3. Checkers can move only one square forward;

 

4. If black and white checkers  are located  on the same diagonal line, and there is one vacant square behind each of them, so one can hit the opponent's checker. Depending on that fact whose turn it is, a checker "jumps over" the rival's one to the blank square   on the same diagonal line, and the opponent's checker is taken away from the board;

 

5. A checker that managed to go through the opponent's playfield, becomes a king;

 

6. A player that has more checkers on the board wins the game.      

 

The game can be controlled using the arrow keys or a mouse, which is more comfortable in this game.

  

Point at a checker you want to move with the cursor bar and perform left mouse click. After that click on the square you've chosen.

That's it; your checker is already there! But, unlike the regular checkers, you won't be able to play out of turn even if you forget that it's over... First, that's because it's simply impossible in this computer version of checkers. At second, while playing with your computer, you have to note that it will perform the moves promptly.

 

Do you want to hit an opponent's checker? It's not a problem.

  

First of all mark your checker - and point to the square to jump with your mouse cursor.

                                                      

Besides, that is to say, each player has to use his right to hit the opponent's checker and never omit it. In computer Checkers, you won't be able to do any other move except hitting once it is possible.
