The player who adjusts a piece without intimation can be warned for the first offence, but will forfeit the game on the second offence. If the player whose move it is touches a piece that can be played, the player must move that piece or forfeit the game. If any part of a playable piece is moved over the angle of its square, the piece must be played in that direction. Pask , p. In the case where there are different jump sequences available, the player may chose which sequence to make, whether it results in the most pieces being taken or not.
Hopper , p. Pike says it has been abolished. The idea of the huff was that if a player refused to make an available jump, the opposing player could remove the piece that should have jumped.
In modern checkers, all jumps must be taken. Reinfeld does not mention forced jumps in his rules, however, elsewhere in the book, p. A piece cannot jump over empty squares. Although no one actually says so, it is strongly implied that single pieces cannot jump backwards. A king is allowed to move or jump in any of the four diagonal directions within the limits of the board. A player can also win if the other player resigns or forfeits the game as a result of a violation of the rules.
A game is declared a draw when neither player can force a win. Consult a chess rule book, or a chess player, concerning how to use a clock. Briefly: The clock has two clocks. Your clock runs when it is your turn to move. When you make your move, you press your button, which stops your clock and starts your opponent's clock. You have a given amount of time, to make a certain number of moves. If you fail to make enough moves in the given time, you lose by time forfeit improper delay. There are secondary time controls, after you have made the correct number of moves.
When it falls, at , and you have not made enough moves, you have exceeded the time control. The use of clocks may make recording of moves necessary, as a record of the number of moves made. The numbered board, on the left, will help you record and read moves. Moves are written as from-to as means from 11 to A multiple jump is recorded as just two numbers, unless that pair of numbers is ambiguous, then the intervening squares are shown , for example.
When there are two or more ways to "jump", five minutes shall be allowed for the move. When there is only one way to "jump", time shall be called at the end of one minute; and if the move is not completed at the end of another minute the game shall be adjudged as lost through improper delay. At the beginning of a game each player shall be entitled to arrange his own or his opponent's pieces properly on the squares.
After the game has opened a move has been made , if either player should touch or arrange any piece, without giving intimation, he shall be cautioned for the first offense, and shall forfeit the game for any subsequent offense of this kind.
If the person whose turn it is to play touches one of his own playable pieces, he must either play it or forfeit the game.
If any part of a playable piece be played over an angle of the square on which it is stationed, the play must be completed in that direction. Inadvertently removing, touching or disturbing from its position a piece that is not playable, while in the act of "jumping" or making an intended move does not constitute a move, and the piece or pieces shall be placed back in position and the game is continued.
The "Huff" or "Blow" is hereby abolished. All "jumps" must be completed, and all "jumped" pieces must be removed from the board. His opponent had the options of 1 forcing him to take back his non-jump and forcing him to jump, 2 letting the non-jump move stand, or 3 removing, from the board, one of the pieces which could have jumped. This third option, was the "huff. The rules have gone from this severe penalty, to the current no penalty. When a single piece reaches the crown-head of the board by reason of a move, or as the completion of a "jump", it becomes a king; and that completes the move, or "jump".
The piece then must be crowned by the opponent by placing a piece on top of it. If the opponent neglects to do so and makes a play, then any such play shall be put back until the piece that should have been crowned is crowned. The crowning of it, is part of your opponent's move. A King, once crowned, can move in any direction as the limits of the board permit.
A King can "jump" in any direction one or more pieces, as the limits of the board permit. When a piece is not available for crowning, one must be furnished by the Referee.
The phrase "as the limits of the board permit" merely means that you can't jump off the board. As I said in my comments concerning rule 2, a king can only jump diagonally over one adjacent piece at a time, in any of the four diagonal directions. Of course, multiple jumps are possible. A Draw is declared when neither player can force a win. When one side appears stronger than the other and the player with what appears to be the weaker side requests the Referee for a Count on moves, then, if the Referee so decides, the stronger party is required to complete the win or show to the satisfaction of the Referee at least an "increased" instead of the old wording "decided" advantage over his opponent within forty of his own moves, these to be counted from the point at which notice was given by the Referee; failing in which he must relinquish the game as a draw.
He must determine if a player has increased his advantage. There is no "triple-repetition" rule. So, a player may repeat the position, twenty times or a hundred times, if the Referee has not been called in. If this is the case, then you must jump with the piece that has the jump. Also, you must take every jump that a piece has available. Click Offer Draw at the bottom of the page displaying your game board.
Your opponent will be sent a message asking whether she would like to accept or decline a draw. It does not have to be your turn to offer a draw.
Offering a draw does not count as making a move in the game. If you offer a draw in a tournament game, you might want to make an actual move in the game as well, to be sure you do not time out. If your opponent makes a move without responding to the draw offer, the draw offer will be erased from her message inbox. Official checkers rules do not really cover this either way, so we are setting it up as a house rule in the interests of keeping the tournaments moving, and to avoid the situation where a game goes on for hundreds of moves.
This rule is an official rule in chess, and we have chosen to implement it for American Checkers as well. This is an official rule of chess, but we are expanding it as a house rule in all games to stop games when they are no longer progressing.
