Turkish Draughts

About

Turkish Draughts is the regional variant that changes the whole feel of checkers: pieces move and capture along rows and columns instead of diagonals. If you know standard draughts, expect your instincts to be wrong for the first few games — and that's exactly what makes it worth learning.

Tips

• Forget your diagonal instincts — scan rows and columns for threats instead.
• Multi-captures are common here; check the full chain before you commit a piece.
