Fencer:
Sorry Fencer but it doesn't and it should, this is what its written on game rules concerning Czech Checkers:

"Czech Checkers differs from the standard Checkers by the queen (similar to a king in Checkers) movement. When a pawn reaches the last row, it turns to a queen immediately and the queen can move and any spaces diagonally. It can also jump over an enemy's piece any spaces diagonally and make multiple jumps. Moreover, a queen does not have to land directly behind the captured piece, it can choose (when jumping) any other empty square in the line but does not have to jump over two or more pieces at once. The following picture shows a multiple jump made by the white queen (before and after the move):

The other rules are the same as for normal Checkers."

In my opinion the rules of Checkers variations are somehow vague, its a thing that must be improven at BK. For me doesn't matter because I accompany often the games, so I adapt quickly. But for new players I reckon its very confused. Because what they read in the rules and what its implemented its very different.
