Talk:International draughts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How far can a piece move if it is not jumping? One square only?
What about kings?
Men can only move one square, and must jump backwards if can jump backwards. Kings can move many squares, and must jump the greatest amount of checkers.
Rather than saying "In contrast to popular belief in the Netherlands, captures by crowned pieces do not have priority over captures by ordinary pieces.", wouldn't it be more accurate to say that captures by crowned pieces having priority over captures by ordinary pieces is a Dutch regional variant? — Gwalla | Talk 00:14, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- No, the idea is just ignorance and misconception. Not a local variant. Andries 14:30, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Comparison to other Draughts
This page should be updated to achieve the same look and information of other Draught pages, notably, the English draughts page. It doesn't include things like game complexity. 70.111.251.203 14:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
