The order of play
- 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
See the idea in action
An adjacent enemy with an empty square beyond it requires a jump rather than a quiet move. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
One detail worth checking
These are English short-king rules, not international flying kings. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
