Pro Tips

  • Control the center. Pieces in the middle of the board have more movement options and are harder to trap.
  • Keep your back row. Leaving pieces on your back row prevents your opponent from getting kings.
  • Force trades when ahead. If you have more pieces, simplify the board by trading captures.
  • Plan multi-jumps. Set up positions where a single piece can chain multiple captures in one turn.
  • Get kings early. Push pieces to your opponent's back row to gain kings, which can move in all four diagonal directions.
