Every checker piece will be on a dark square, so you can never move your disc onto one of the light squares. On Checkers 247, moves are made by clicking on one of your pieces and selecting the square you wish to move them to.
Despite being incredibly old, many of you may need to brush up on your checker's skills by understanding how to play the game, what the goals are, and so on. That’s why we created this guide to walk you through all the necessary steps in playing a game of checkers!
Can You Jump Backwards in Checkers? Russian and European checkers allow regular checker pieces to move backwards. However, this is never the case in the U.S. version of the game. But, there is an exception for kings – special pieces. You earn a king when you get one of your checkers to the black squares on the opposite end of the board.
A checker becomes a King checker when it has reached the opposing side of the board. When playing 247 Checkers, you’ll know when you’ve reached this goal, as the checker will now feature a small crown logo.
