International draughts
Draughts on a 10×10 board with flying kings and the majority-capture rule.
How to play
Each player has 20 men on the dark squares. White moves first. You win when your opponent has no legal move.
- Men move one square diagonally forward but capture forward and backward.
- Kings are "flying": they move any distance along a diagonal and capture a piece at any distance, landing on any empty square beyond it.
- You must capture the maximum number of pieces available. Men and kings each count as one piece.
- Captured pieces stay on the board until your move is finished, and you may not jump the same piece twice.
- A man that only passes through the last row during a capture does not become a king. It is crowned only if its move ends there.
Squares are numbered 1 to 50.
Draws
Draws happen by agreement, by threefold repetition, after 25 moves by each side with only kings moving and no capture, and by the endgame rules: three kings, two kings and a man, or a king and two men against a lone king are drawn after 16 moves each; two kings, or a king and a man, against a lone king after 5 moves each.
