The order of play
- Select a piece, then its legal diagonal destination.
- A capture must be taken when available.
- Continue a jump chain with the same piece; promotion ends that capture turn.
- Kings move and capture diagonally both ways.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Follow the example
An adjacent enemy with an empty square beyond it requires a jump rather than a quiet move. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
