Subject: Re: International Checkers

Fencer: I'm willing to test, although I won't claim I know all the little details of the rules. But I can list the significant rules that are different from other versions of checkers:

Capturing an enemy piece is mandatory.

If there is more than one way to capture enemy pieces, you have to make the move that takes the most pieces.

Regular pieces can capture backwards as well.

A normal piece reaching the last line promotes to a queen.

Unlike Czech Checkers, if a capuring piece reaches the last line, and it can continue capturing (with a backwards move), the move doesn't end - the piece makes the backwards capture and doesn't promote to a queen.

If you cannot make a move, you lose (it's not a stalemate).

You cannot jump over the same piece twice.

Captured pieces remain on the board until the move finishes.

Play is done on a 10x10 board.
