# Turkish Draughts

Canonical: https://rexogame.com/games/turkish-draughts

The main feature is that moves and captures with checkers are made horizontally and vertically, and not diagonally, as in most popular types of checkers. Accordingly, the initial arrangement of checkers is different. On a 64-cell board, opponents place their 16 checkers on all cells of the second and third horizontals. You can play the game with artificial intelligence, with another person on one device, or with an opponent online in multiplayer mode. You can also watch other players play, act as a spectator, or suggest your own version of the next move to the player by making it on the board. The player with the white checkers goes first. A simple checker goes one square forward, left, or right. A queen goes any number of empty squares forward, backward, right, or left. If a player has the opportunity to capture an opponent's checkers during his turn, he must take them. A simple checker captures an opponent's checker standing in front, to the right, or to the left. A queen takes the opponent's checkers standing any number of empty squares in front, behind, to the right, or to the left, if the square following the checker is free. When taking checkers, they are removed from the board one by one during the battle. A simple checker that has entered the eighth horizontal becomes a queen at the end of the move. The winner is the one who was able to destroy all of the opponent's checkers or deprive them of the ability to move, or the one who is left with several of his simple checkers against one simple checker of the opponent.
