Free Checkers
About Free Checkers
Free Checkers brings the classic board game to your browser, no download required. Move your pieces diagonally across the board, capture your opponent's pieces by jumping over them, and try to reach the other side to crown a king. Explore different versions of the game, including American and Russian checkers, each with its own set of rules and challenges.
How to play Free Checkers
Pick a version of checkers to play, then choose to face a friend or the computer. Move your pieces one diagonal square at a time, or jump over an opposing piece to capture it. Land a piece on the far row to turn it into a king, which can move diagonally in any direction. Keep capturing and advancing until your opponent has no pieces or moves left.
Tips for playing Free Checkers
- Try to control the center of the board rather than pushing pieces along the edges.
- Look two moves ahead before jumping, since a capture can leave your piece open to a counter-jump.
- Protect your back row as long as possible to delay your opponent from getting a king.
