In Turkish draughts you move your pieces forwards and sideways to capture all of your opponent's pieces or leave them without a move.
Unlike classic checkers, pieces move orthogonally, not diagonally: one square forwards or to the side, and they capture the same way by jumping an adjacent enemy piece, often several in one turn. Capturing is compulsory and you must take the line that captures the most pieces. A piece reaching the last row becomes a king that flies any distance along rows and columns and captures from afar. Threefold repetition or 50 moves each without a capture is a draw. Play the computer on easy, medium or hard with white or black, or a friend on the same device; forced captures glow and the capture path is drawn.
