Making your moves
- Select a piece, then its legal diagonal destination.
- A capture must be taken when available.
- Continue a jump chain with the same piece; promotion ends that capture turn.
- Kings move and capture diagonally both ways.
Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Work through an example
An adjacent enemy with an empty square beyond it requires a jump rather than a quiet move. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
A useful caution
These are English short-king rules, not international flying kings. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
