Russian Checkers 8×8

In Russian checkers, the gameplay is governed by these specific rules:

• White initiates the game
• Checkers move exclusively on dark squares
• Capturing an opponent's checker is mandatory if possible
• Checkers can capture both forward and backward
• Kings can move and capture along any diagonal
• The Turkish strike rule applies: an opponent's checker can only be captured once per move
• When multiple capture options exist, any can be chosen, not just the longest
• A checker reaching the opponent's edge becomes a king and can move as a king immediately if possible

A draw can be declared under these conditions:

• If a player with checkers and three or more kings against one opponent's king cannot capture the opponent's king by the 15th move after the balance of forces is set
• If the balance of forces remains unchanged (no captures or promotions) for 30 moves in 4 and 5 piece endings, or 60 moves in 6 and 7 piece endings
• If a player with three checkers (three kings, two kings and one checker, one king and two checkers, or three simple checkers) against one opponent's king on the "high road" cannot capture the opponent's king by the 5th move
• If players make only king moves without moving simple checkers or capturing for 15 moves
• If the same position repeats three or more times, with the same player to move each time

International Checkers 10×10

International checkers follows these rules:

• White begins the game
• Checkers move only on dark squares
• Capturing an opponent's checker is compulsory if possible
• Checkers can capture both forward and backward
• Kings can move and capture along any diagonal
• The Turkish strike rule is in effect: an opponent's checker can only be captured once per move
• The majority rule mandates capturing the largest number of checkers when multiple options are available
• A simple checker can continue capturing after reaching the opponent's edge without becoming a king until the end of the move
• A simple checker becomes a king upon reaching the opponent's edge and stops, resuming as a king on the next move
