fencer:thank you for invitation, but sorry ,i dont know tank battle,but i very much like turkish chequers.

Imad: It already started. But you can still sign up for my Tank Battle prize tournament. The prize is the same :-)

hi fencer,
when is the tournament scheduled to start?

Just a note, its not a King, its a Queen! :-)

Yes.

If a king has a jump available do they have to take it?

Yes, this has been a problem with lots of players, it seems: you win a game, and the game continues anyways. I had one game that took a few minutes to realize i'd won, but did eventually. All we can do is hope Fencer does something about it :-)

Ok, 6 ranks high then; whatever!

It would also make the game incredibly different - in Turkish Checkers, you can't move out your third rank pieces necessarily, because your opponent can likely double jump. With the first rank not empty, you can safely move that piece out because you can jump your opponent back after a single jump. If you wanted to speed up the game, it would make MUCH more sense to make it 6 ranks high, rather than leaving the first and last empty.

Could the 1st rank be left clear, as in Turkish Checkers? It would make the game that much faster!

I want to make move Q-g7 in my game ID 122704.
Why it is not possible ?

When you promote, the move is over.

if a person queens a piece, can they on that same move capture a piece by continuing to move or is the move considered over once the piece queens? :)

Sure...I'm game.....only played once...and i'm winning so far.....if ya wanna try.....lemme know

Anyone want to play?

lol. No problem :-)

thanks Kevin I feel like a real dill now.

Checkers only move diagonally which explains why you can't capture A7. To capture a piece, you must jump over it to the space beyond it, which is why you can't capture F8 (it is on the edge of the board).

Hi there can anybody tell me why I cant move my black piece from A3 to capture either F8 or A7 on game ID 48510 ?

No, the checkers at the top [bottom] are really stuck. Should I mention that in the rules?

i have played a few of these now it seems that checkers get stuck at the top or bottom..if they cant get in the corner...it doesnt say that in the rules...is there a way to get them unstuck or are they no longer usuable once ya move them there...
