OK...let me straighten this out.

All Draughts variants except for English Checkers: White moves first. Black/Red moves first in English Checkers, then white moves.

Black/Red moves first in Anti-Checkers too.

Italian Checkers, Czech Checkers, Spanish Checkers, 10x10 checkers, Brazilian, White moves first.

John Baker: If one side has Red and the other has Black then it's not regulation! Pogo.com checkers has these colors and has Red moving first, Black moving second. BK uses Black and White so Black moves first in Checkers here in BK. You can go to checkers settings and make this possible.

Socrates: Huh... It's amazing how many retail board game companies sell checkers sets that aren't regulation. You'd think they'd want to be authentic. Oh well, such is life. :-)
