Rules of the game:

A simple checker moves diagonally forward one square. The king walks diagonally both forward and backward on any free square, but cannot jump over her own.
Taking is mandatory. Beaten checkers and kings are removed only after the turn is completed.
After the capture, if it is possible to continue taking other opponent's checkers, then this continues until it reaches a position from which the fight is impossible. The capture is performed both forward and backward.
The king, after taking it, stands on any free field after a beaten checker.
When fighting through a last row, a simple checker turns into a king and continues the fight according to the rules of the king.
The rule of the Turkish strike is that a checker that has already been beaten, but not removed from the board, stops the beating king or the opponent's checker.
With several options for taking, for example, one or two checkers, the player chooses the option of taking at his discretion.
