BIG BAD WOLF:
We both know that in Checkers rules there is no such rule, so a new player will not go to the Checkers rules because he assumes he knows the checkers rules. He even play the checkers and see okay, I know this game so no problem. Then he plays the variants, and you know that we have to explain the rules to new comers, because they don't understand it. Again I'm not saying because of me or you, we are already fan of checkers variants. I really think that the Checkers variants rules should be improved.

I enjoy the game too, but if there is a section with game rules why not they are acurate instead of being somehow "tricky"...
Thats what I'm saying.

No Stevie I don't agree, it just means that Czech players have more change to win, because they know very well the game.

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):

2 images of Board, explaining the Queen Capture.

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.
