Game Rules:

• A regular checker moves diagonally forward by one square. The king moves diagonally both forward and backward across any available square, but cannot jump over its own pieces.
• Capturing an opponent\'s piece is mandatory. Captured checkers and kings are removed from the board only after the player\'s turn is completed.
• After a capture, if there are additional opponent\'s checkers to take, the player continues capturing until no further moves are possible. Capturing is allowed both forward and backward.
• The king, after a successful capture, can be placed on any unoccupied square where an opponent\'s piece was removed.
• When a regular checker reaches the opponent’s last row, it is promoted to a king and can continue playing according to the king’s rules.
• The \"Turkish strike\" rule allows a previously captured piece, still on the board, to block a king or the opponent’s checker from continuing their capture.
• If multiple capture options are available, such as capturing one or two checkers, the player may choose which option to follow.
