Welcome to Checkers. Your objective is to capture all opponent pieces or block them so they cannot move.

• Movement: Regular pieces move diagonally forward exactly one square.
• Capturing: Jump over an opponent's piece diagonally to capture it.
• Forced Jumps: If any jump is possible on the board, you must take it. If multiple jumps are available in a chain for a piece, you must continue jumping until no more jumps are possible for that piece.
• Kings: When a piece reaches the opposite far end of the board, it becomes a King (marked with a crown). Kings can move and capture diagonally both forward and backward.
