How to play
In the game, a simple piece moves one square diagonally forward. The king moves on any unoccupied square diagonally both forward and backward, but cannot jump over its own piece. Capturing is mandatory. If a piece is captured, it is removed from the board only after the turn is completed. After capturing an opponent's piece, if there is an opportunity to continue capturing more pieces, this is done until the position is reached when no further captures are possible. Captures are made both forwards and backwards. Upon capturing, the king can stand on any free field behind the captured piece. When a simple piece crosses the last row, it becomes a king and continues to play according to the king's rules. If a piece has already been captured but not removed from the board, it blocks further captures by the king or any piece of the opponent. In case of multiple capture options (e.g., capturing one or two pieces), the player chooses the option they prefer.
