Game Rules:

• When a checker reaches the farthest row, it is “kinged” and gains the ability to move both forwards and backwards, just like a regular checker but with more freedom of movement.
• On your turn, if an opponent\'s checker is adjacent and the square behind it is empty, you must jump over and capture it. If a jump results in another capture, you continue jumping as part of the same turn until no more captures are possible. Once your checker reaches the last row and is crowned, no further jumps can be made, and your turn ends.
• Jumping is mandatory. If a capturing opportunity exists, it must be taken. If there are multiple capture options, you can choose any of them.
• Regular checkers can only capture forwards, while kinged checkers can capture in both directions.
• The game is won by either capturing all of the opponent’s checkers or by completely blocking their movement, leaving them unable to make a move.
