Brazilian Draughtsブラジルチェッカー

The international rules on the 8×8 board: men take backward, kings fly, and the longest capture is compulsory.

International draughts on the smaller board and with the twelve men of American checkers, as it is played in Brazil and, since 1985, at the world championships of 8×8 draughts. The rules here are those of Brazil's draughts confederation (CBJD, Regras Oficiais), whose draws differ from the FMJD's rules for the 8×8 board; where the two disagree, this game follows Brazil's.

Also known as Damas, Brazilian Checkers, Minor Polish Draughts.

Object目的

Leave the other side with no piece that can move: jump theirs off the board until none is left, or shut in whatever remains.
No lines and nothing placed after the start: every piece is down from the first move, and the whole game is in how they step and jump.

Board盤

A 8×8 board.
Played on the dark squares only, thirty-two of the sixty-four. Each side starts with twelve men filling its own three rows.

Play手順

A turn moves one piece: a man steps one square diagonally forward, onto an empty square.
A man captures by jumping an adjacent enemy piece into the empty square beyond it, forward or backward.
Capturing is forced, and so is taking the most you can: of every capture on the board, only one taking the greatest number of pieces may be played. A king counts as one piece, the same as a man; among captures taking equally many, you choose.
A piece that captures and can capture again keeps going in the same move, turning corners as it must. A man that crosses the far row partway through is not crowned: it carries on as a man, and is crowned only if the capture ends there.
The pieces a capture takes come off the board only when it is over. Until then each still stands in the way: none may be jumped a second time, and nothing may pass through one.
A man whose move ends on the far row is crowned a king. A king flies: it moves any distance along an open diagonal, either way, and captures a piece at any distance, landing on any empty square beyond it — one from which it can capture again, where there is one.
The game ends the moment a colour has no piece that can move: none left, or every one shut in.

House rules細則

White always opens.
It is a draw once twenty moves each have gone by in which only kings have moved and nothing has been taken.
It is a draw when the same position comes round for the third time with the same side to move.
It is a draw when two kings against two kings, two kings against a king, two kings against a king and a man, a king against a king or a king against a king and a man is not won within five more moves each of that ending arising.
The threat reading, hints and the chance-of-winning bar are switched off: there are no lines here, only pieces jumping.
8×8, played on the dark squares only — thirty-two of the sixty-four. Twelve men a side fill the first three rows. The long diagonal runs from each player's left.
