How to play

Tap a piece, then tap where it should go (or drag it). Pieces that must capture are marked.
Capturing is mandatory, also backwards, and you must take the most pieces possible.
A man that ends its move on the far row becomes a king, which moves and captures over any distance.
If you cannot move, you lose. See the ? button for all rules.

Ranking

Everybody starts on 1000 points. You gain points by winning, more so against stronger opponents (the computer counts too) and lose points by losing. You appear in the list after your first game; a ? behind a rating means it is still provisional.

Rules of Dutch draughts

The board

10×10 squares; only the 50 dark squares are used (numbered 1–50 as in the official notation; use Numbers to show them). Each player has 20 pieces. White starts on 31–50, Black on 1–20, and White moves first.

Moving

A man moves one square diagonally forward onto an empty square.
A king (a crowned man) moves any number of empty squares diagonally, forwards and backwards.

Capturing

Capturing is mandatory. A man jumps over an adjacent enemy piece to the empty square behind it, forwards and backwards.
A king jumps over one enemy piece at any distance (the squares in between must be empty) and may land on any empty square beyond it.
You must keep capturing in the same move while you can, changing direction if needed. Captured pieces are removed only after the whole move: you cannot jump the same piece twice and you cannot jump over a piece you already captured.
Majority rule: if you can capture in several ways you must choose the one that takes the most pieces (a king counts as one piece). With equal numbers you may choose freely.

Crowning

A man that ends its move on the far row becomes a king. A man that only passes over that row in the middle of a capture and goes on capturing stays a man.

Winning and drawing

You win when your opponent has no pieces left or cannot move, or resigns.
A draw: by agreement; when the same position occurs three times; after 25 moves by each side with only kings and no capture; with 3 pieces (a king among them) against a lone king after 16 moves each, and with 2 pieces or fewer against a lone king after 5 moves each.

Controls

Tap a piece and then a destination, or drag the piece. When a capture can go several ways, tap the squares you want to jump through. The dots show where you can go.
