Simple question from a newbie?
I am a checkers fan and was just wondering if there is a room for NO mandatory forced capture checkers? Thank you 😊
The real rules of checkers is force jump, there is no room without that.
Yes for your chosen version you play but as you know there are variants that leave “forced captures” optional…there are thousands of people out there who have spent there whole lives playing this version…I’ve played it like so for nearly 50yrs, it’s merely personal preference and it’s nice to always find a new source who recognizes this variation to play at with others who also prefer it.   Not trying to change the world or any rules, just simply looking for some casual, fun playing the board game checkers…and it looks like I’ll be moving on to another site then…have a good day.
