QUICK RULES

Easy to learn. Hard to master.

01

Move diagonally

Regular pieces move one square diagonally forward onto an empty dark square. They cannot move straight forward or sideways. Kings can move diagonally in both directions.

02

Capture by jumping

Capture an opponent's piece by jumping diagonally over it into an empty square. If another capture is available after landing, you may continue jumping. In Russian mode, regular pieces can also capture backward. Forced captures can still be changed in Settings.

03

Reach the back row

When one of your regular pieces reaches the opposite end of the board, it becomes a king. Kings are more powerful because they can move and capture both forward and backward. In Russian mode, kings can travel any number of empty squares along a diagonal.
