Russian Checkers 8×8

Move and Capture Rules:

• White begins the game.
• Checkers move exclusively on dark squares.
• You must capture an opponent's checker if possible.
• Capturing is allowed both forward and backward.
• Kings can move and capture along any diagonal.
• The Turkish strike rule applies: an opponent's checker can be captured only once per move.
• If multiple capture options exist, you may choose any, not necessarily the longest.
• Upon reaching the opponent's edge, a checker becomes a king and can immediately move as a king if possible.

Draw Conditions:

• A draw is declared if a player with checkers and three or more kings against one opponent's king fails to capture the opponent's king within 15 moves after the balance of forces is established.
• In positions with kings on both sides, if the balance of forces remains unchanged (no captures, no new kings) for 30 moves in 4 and 5 piece endings, or 60 moves in 6 and 7 piece endings, a draw is declared.
• If a player with three checkers (three kings, two kings and a checker, a king and two checkers, or three simple checkers) against one opponent's king on the "high road" cannot capture the opponent's king within five moves, a draw is declared.
• A draw is declared if, over 15 moves, only kings are moved without any simple checkers being moved or captured.
• A draw is declared if the same position repeats three or more times, with the same player to move each time.

• If a simple checker reaches the opponent's edge during a capture and can continue capturing, it remains a simple checker and continues its move.
• If a simple checker reaches the opponent's edge by a move or during a capture, it becomes a king and stops. It can move as a king on its next turn.
