About Simple Checkers

The computer plays with some tactical sense, so a loose piece usually gets taken.

Your main target is the far side of the board. A checker that reaches the opponent's back row is promoted to a king, and kings can move both forward and backward.

Because the AI looks for openings, every move matters, which makes this a small brain game. Think a few moves ahead before you commit a piece.

Key features

  • You play classic checkers on a board against a computer opponent.
  • Pieces move diagonally, and you capture by jumping over enemy pieces.
  • A checker that reaches the opponent's back row becomes a king.
  • Kings can move forward and backward.

Tips & tricks

  • Work a piece toward the opponent's back row. A king moves both ways, which gives you more options.
  • Before each move, check whether the square you land on lets the AI jump your piece.
