And surprisingly, losing or not any of your own pieces is not the most significant issue- in the end remember that a fight requires victims. It is essential to confront your opponent in such a manner that leads to capturing his pieces. Draughts beginners are often under the illusion that setting the pieces on the left or right side of the board is safer. And unfortunately, they are not right in this case. If a piece is placed at the edge of the board, it controls only one square in front of it.
At the same time, a piece in the centre of the board can effectively control two fields. If you care about protecting your pieces, place them in the middle of the board - build a team of pieces, they will be protecting one another from the back, the left and right side.
Remember also that the pieces placed at the edges of the board are easier to be blocked and thus it is less complicated to exclude them from the game. A lone, blocked piece somewhere on the side of the board will not be useful and will not help you to win. It's not worth splitting pieces into small groups - when they form one team, they cooperate better together.
It is easier for them to protect one another. It's also easier to pull your opponent into a trap. In , Jonathan Schaeffer in the latest version of his computer programme proved that in English draughts the game during which players do not make any mistake, is always to end in a draw. In real life people are used to making mistakes, therefore every single game is exciting and unpredictable. Still, there may happen that playing draughts ends in a draw:.

If the opponent neglects to do so and makes a play, then any such play shall be put back until the piece that should have been crowned is crowned. The crowning of it, is part of your opponent's move. A King, once crowned, can move in any direction as the limits of the board permit. A King can "jump" in any direction one or more pieces, as the limits of the board permit.
When a piece is not available for crowning, one must be furnished by the Referee. The phrase "as the limits of the board permit" merely means that you can't jump off the board. As I said in my comments concerning rule 2, a king can only jump diagonally over one adjacent piece at a time, in any of the four diagonal directions.
Of course, multiple jumps are possible. A Draw is declared when neither player can force a win. When one side appears stronger than the other and the player with what appears to be the weaker side requests the Referee for a Count on moves, then, if the Referee so decides, the stronger party is required to complete the win or show to the satisfaction of the Referee at least an "increased" instead of the old wording "decided" advantage over his opponent within forty of his own moves, these to be counted from the point at which notice was given by the Referee; failing in which he must relinquish the game as a draw.
He must determine if a player has increased his advantage. There is no "triple-repetition" rule. So, a player may repeat the position, twenty times or a hundred times, if the Referee has not been called in. Normally, the players are reasonable enough to agree to a draw, in such a case. There seems to be a loop-hole, in this rule. Technically, a player who does not have any advantage, can refuse to agree to a draw.
The player with the stronger position cannot request a move count, at least not according to this law. So, we could have a repetitious game, that lasts forever.
Reasonable people would agree to the draw, or apply the move draw rule, anyway. After an opening is balloted, neither player shall leave the board without permission of the Referee. If permission is granted his opponent may accompany him, or the Referee may designate a person to accompany him.
Anything that may tend either to annoy or distract the attention of an opponent is strictly forbidden, such as making signs or sounds, pointing or hovering over the board, either with the hands or the head, or unnecessarily delaying to move a piece touched. Any principal so acting, after having been warned of the consequences, and requested to desist, shall forfeit the game. Nearly all games and sports have such a rule.
In baseball a player is "forbidden to make a travesty of the game. Players shall be allowed to smoke during the conduct of a game but care must be exercised not to blow smoke across the board, lest it annoy an opponent. If a player is thus annoyed, he may object to his opponent's smoking, in which case neither player shall be allowed to smoke. Any spectator giving warning either by signs or sound or remark on any of the games, whether playing or pending, shall be ordered from the room during the contest.
According to the official checker rules you are not allowed to skip a turn. Each player must take your turn and if one player is unable to move then they lose the game.
Some rules can be different in checkers depending on who you are playing with. I have seen players allow a skipped turn until there is an opening for the opponent. The official rules do not allow this. In a digital game, the game will notify you when there are no moves for you and will make you find another piece to move; but in a real game, you may try to skip a turn if you are just playing for fun.
Another interesting rule in the game of checkers is the rule of jumping. If there is a possible jump in the game, you must take it. In an online game, it will not allow you to pick another piece until you have used that jump, even if you do not want to do it and know that you will lose that piece later. You may have thought that it was just a simple game of moving some disks on a checkerboard, and trying to jump the other players disks; welp, there are more rules than you thought.
Still a fun little game that can have some exceptions, but it is also an intense game for professionals. The players place their draughts on the three rows of dark squares which are closest to them. The players then begin playing, making one move at a time. The object of the game is to make it so the opponent can't move when it comes to their turn. Players can never jump over their own piece.
