Checkers is a classic board game played by two players on a checkered gameboard.

The objective of checkers is to capture all of your opponent's pieces or block them from moving.

Each player in checkers controls twelve pieces, typically differentiated by color, placed on alternating dark and light squares of the board.

The rules of checkers dictate that pieces can only move diagonally forward unless capturing an opponent's piece.
