Russian draughts
How to play
Russian draughts uses an 8×8 board. Men move one diagonal square forwards and can capture forwards or backwards. Kings travel along an open diagonal. Captures are compulsory, and a capture sequence continues while another jump is available.
Win by taking every opposing piece or leaving the other player without a legal move. Before an exchange, look at the diagonals it opens and the route to the king row.
