Checkers looks simple — but behind those familiar red and black pieces is a fascinating history stretching back through centuries of board-game development.
In this episode, we'll teach you how to play standard American checkers, including setting up the board, moving pieces, making captures, performing multiple jumps, becoming a king, and winning the game.
Then we'll travel through the history of checkers and draughts, exploring the connection with the medieval game Alquerque, the development of the game on the 8-by-8 chessboard, the first books about draughts, and the spread of the game around the world.
We'll also explore several variations, including:
• American Checkers • International Draughts • Spanish Draughts • Italian Draughts • Russian Draughts
You'll discover that these games can differ dramatically in board size, movement, capturing rules and the power of kings.
We'll also look at one of the most fascinating chapters in checkers history: the development of computer checkers and the mathematical solution of American checkers.
Whether you're a complete beginner, a longtime checkers player, a parent teaching a child, or simply interested in the history of classic games, this episode has something for you.
