This is the classic board game of Checkers. You control the RED pieces, and the computer controls the BLUE pieces. You get to move first.

To play:

• click on the red piece you would like to move
• the piece glows yellow
• click on the square you want to move it to
• the object is to "jump" over your opponent's pieces, which removes them from the game
• you are allowed to "double" and "triple" jump
• if you land any of your pieces in the opponent's back row, then these pieces become "kings"
• normal pieces may only move forward on a diagonal
• kings may move forward or backward on a diagonal
