Czech draughts
-
8×8 board, each player has 12 men on the dark squares of the three nearest rows. White moves first.
-
The long diagonal runs to the player's left.
-
A man moves one square diagonally forward and captures forward only.
-
A man reaching the last row becomes a king and the move ends. A king moves and captures diagonally any distance, forwards and backwards.
-
Capturing is mandatory and a capture must be carried through to the end. Captured pieces are removed after the whole move; a piece cannot be jumped twice. If the capture can continue from at least one square behind the captured piece, the king must land on such a square.
-
You may choose any capture; there is no majority rule. But if both a king and a man can capture, the king must capture, even if the man would take more.
-
A missed capture does not cost a piece: the server simply will not accept such a move.
-
Draw: threefold repetition; 15 moves in a row in total without a man move or capture; three kings against a king off the long diagonal — 15 more moves each; two kings, a king and a man, or one king against a king, and three kings against a king on the long diagonal — 5 more moves each.
