About Russian Checkers vs. computer
Russian Checkers vs. computer is a board game by LQGAMES with user-friendly graphics and an intuitive interface suited to players of all ages. The opponent is driven by an AI that uses advanced algorithms, accounting for your current board position and anticipating possible future scenarios to make optimal decisions quickly.
How to Play Russian Checkers vs. computer
The goal is to capture or block every one of the opponent's checkers. Players alternate turns, moving one checker a single cell forward diagonally to a free cell. When an opponent's checker sits on an adjacent diagonal square with a free square behind it, your checker can jump over it and land on that free square — the captured piece is then removed. If further captures remain possible after a jump, they must be completed in the same turn.
Queen Promotion
A checker that reaches the far side of the board becomes a queen. Queens move any number of squares diagonally and can capture opponent pieces from any distance, landing either before or after jumping over them.
Forced Captures and Endings
Whenever a capture is available, the player is obliged to take it. A game ends when one player's pieces are all captured or completely blocked. A draw occurs when only repeated moves with no progress are available.
Controls
- Click / Tap: Select a checker and choose its destination square
