Checkers, free to play

The classic game of jumping and kings, against the computer. Three levels, with hints and undo.

How to play

Move diagonally forward
You are red and move up the board, one square at a time on the dark squares. Tap a piece, then tap a highlighted square.
Jump to capture
If a dark piece is next to yours and the square behind it is empty, you jump over it and take it. A jump is compulsory, and you must keep jumping if you can.
Crown a king
Reach the far side and your piece becomes a king, which can also move and jump backwards. You win when the computer has no move left.
