What are Checkers?

Checkers is a kind of chess that can be played by two to six people at the same time. The chess board is a hexagonal star. The chess pieces are divided into six colors, with 10 or 15 pieces in each color. Each player occupies one corner and has one color of chess pieces. Checkers is a puzzle game suitable for all ages and widely spread.

Rules of checkers

The rules of the checkers game are very simple. The movement of the chess pieces can be carried out step by step in the six adjacent directions with straight lines. If there is a chess piece in any of the adjacent positions, and the next position in the straight line direction of the position is empty, you can directly "jump" to the empty position. In the process of "jump", as long as the same conditions are met, it can be carried out continuously. Whoever first occupies all the positions directly opposite will win. I understand it as soon as I play, so almost everyone has played checkers. Checkers in Hong Kong is called "boziqi".

Checkers also have rules. The start of checkers is very important. When we play checkers, the start plays a very important role in a checkers game. In most cases, if we start well, we will always take the lead. We should pay attention to this.

There are many ways to start checkers, but there are three main ways to start checkers, [moving left and right start] is one, and more people use it. The rest are [moving nonleft and right start] and [Snake start] according to your habits.

Chess moves

"Adjacent hop": you can jump directly to the vacant position. During the jump, as long as the same conditions are met, it can be continuously performed.

"Equidistant jump": the movement of a chess piece can be carried out step by step in the six adjacent directions connected by a straight line. If there is only one chess piece in the line segment formed by any vacancy on the same straight line and located in the middle of the line segment, it can jump directly to that vacancy. In the process of jumping, it can be carried out continuously as long as the same conditions are met.

Winner / loser evaluation

The number of game participants cannot be 1 or 5. When there are 4 or 6 people, the opposite corner of one party must be the other. When there are 3 people, the opposite corner of one side cannot be the other.

The number of moves to completely occupy the diagonal position determines the victory, defeat, and ranking.

You must move all your children out of your corner within 30 steps, otherwise, it is negative.
