Anglo - American Checkers 8×8

Checkers is the form of draughts played by the English speaking nations. It is the simplest and the oldest form of the game. It is played on a 64 square board with 12 men each side. Men move forwards and take forwards. Kings move forwards and backwards, but only one square at a time.  Kings take forwards and backwards, but with simple jumps only. There is no majority take rule. The standard notation in checkers is numerical. The operative squares are numbered 1 to 32 starting from the Black side. The single corner is on the left, and the double corner is on the right. Black moves first.
