2. RULES Each player begins the game with twelve normal pieces (either white or black). The pieces are automatically set in their proper positions. The object of the game is to capture all your opponents pieces or prevent them from moving. Black begins the game by moving first. Normal pieces are allowed to move diagonally up (black) or diagonally down (white) by one space. To capture (jump) an opponent’s piece, that piece must be in the path of one of your pieces. Also, there must be an empty space just beyond your opponent’s piece. If a jump is available, it must be taken.

3. RULES CONTINUED Multiple jumps are allowed, even required when the opportunity arises. When several different jumps are available, the player may choose which one he prefers. If a piece manages to make it all the way across to the other side of the board, it is crowned a king. Kings have the ability to move in all four diagonal directions. Players continue to alternate turns until one player captures all pieces of another or it is impossible to move.

4. HOW TO PLAY In order to move a piece simply click which piece you’d like to move, then where you’d like to move it. In order to jump, first click your piece, then click the piece you wish to jump. Figure 1 illustrates the steps necessary for the black piece to jump the white. If you are in doubt about what to do, follow the instructions of the status bar. Figure 1 Click 1 Click 2
