History[change | change source] Checkers dates back to the 12th century, in France. There are two main types of checkers played: the Anglo-American version (which originally came from France) and the Polish or continental version. The Anglo-American version is played on an 8x8 checkerboard with 12 pieces. The continental version (so-called because it is played on the continent of Europe) is played on a 10x10 board with 20 pieces each. There are also a number of variations in various countries.
Checkers, also called Draughts or straight checkers, is a form of the checkers board game played on an 8x8 board with 12 pieces on each side that may only initially move and capture diagonally forwards. Only when a checkers piece is kinged may it move backwards. As in all checkers variants, Checkers is played by two people, on opposite sides of a checkers playing board, alternating moves. One player has black colored checkers pieces, and the other has white or red colored checkers pieces. Most commonly, the checkers board alternates between red and black. The opponent's pieces are captured by jumping over them. checkers online, checker online, free checkers online, play checkers online.
