In the variant that I learned initially from my parents, jumps were optional. Then my great aunt in the eastern part of Kentucky taught me the variant in which jumps are required almost as specified here, but you could refuse and then the opponent could remove your piece that had the missed opportunity to jump (called getting "blowed"; I have since read of this being called "huffing" in the UK). This would allow you to avoid a trap in which your jump would set up a whole chain of jumps by your opponent; of course, your opponent could try to maneuver you into a situation in which you would be stuck between a multi-jump trap or getting "blowed".
One controversial rule I've seen is the "king interrupt" when I learned to play we always were taught that if you made a sequence of jumps, was promoted, and the newly promoted piece now had jumps, that the movement continued. But recently, playing online, the version I was playing did not use that rule, and treated promotions as ending the turn.
The first checkers set I ever had used the crown sided checkers, like the red one you used in this video. That was how you indicated your piece had a coronation (became a king).
I've played checkers since I was 4, it's the go-to game for my family, besides rummy. We like to play the "blow/huff" rule, in which if your opponent can jump one of your pieces, yet doesn't, you can take that piece. Even if say, they jump one of your pieces, but they can still jump another piece and don't, you can take it.
Idk. But some checkers rule is that the crowned piece can move unlimited squares in a straight line. It's overpowered. Some also make it possible for regular pieces to capture backwards, this version normal pieces can't capture backwards. Again a nerf. So when jumping multiple times, the piece can't jump backwards, only forward.
But what if I get to the other side of the board to get promoted, and I still have all my pieces on the board - AND - my pieces do not have a crown on either side. (This is also a question for if you have lost pieces already, but they've already all been used to mark your other king(s).)
in most playsets, more than 12 pieces are available. And if not, you have to mark your king piece somehow (coin on top or something). Also, it is very unlikely to get a king before taking any enemy piece - you would both have to play towards such a game to achieve it (i.e. your oponent must move out of your way and you both have to move so that your opponent never gets to take one of your pieces). You must take pieces whenever you can, you have no option to leave them be...
Yes, if you can jump multiple times in a row, you must. If there is a situation where you could jump one piece, or jump multiple pieces, you can choose which jump to make, you don't have to do the jump which captures the most pieces. Hope this answered any questions you have.

A king is not required to jump.
@@Ggdivhjkjl US rules, as outlined in the video, all jumps are required.
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes.
They are totally not
For a reminder of those rules, check out this video.

I thought the lighter color traditionally goes first.
Darker color only goes first

A set with red and blue pieces would be really cool! But I’m more of a chess guy since the pieces are extremely unique.
What’s the difference between this and regular Checkers though?

This is regular checkers if you live in the US
Regular Checkers uses a 10x10 board instead of a 8x8 one. The 10x10 version is much more appreciated by professional players
AFAIK There is no such thing as "regular" checkers. Checkers rules heavily depend on where you live.
i always let the king jump unlimited remember its a reward
They are the same rules as regular checkers!

Wait, so if you can do multiple jumps in a row, you have to? I thought you only had to jump once but after that it was up to you.
Yes, if you can jump multiple times in a row, you must. If there is a situation where you could jump one piece, or jump multiple pieces, you can choose which jump to make, you don't have to do the jump which captures the most pieces. Hope this answered any questions you have.
@@Bentleytalksaboutstuff thank you, the video did not explain this point, and I was looking after it in the comments
@@claravanser7989 No problem, happy to help 👍
Can’t believe there’s a free checkers !
Not too free if you're *forced* to take pieces against your will... Crap, it really is the US incarnate...

There are n't, the rules he explained are exactly how we play in the UK at least
@@kennyearthling7965 Fair enough, I just saw 'US checkers' and assumed there was something different
You should do more videos about checkers variants, like Turkish, gothic, dameo, international or chessckers.

The United States of Checkers. 🔫🔫🔫
In Germany the promoted pieces are queens, not kings.
I was taught that King pieces can move long ways like bishops in chess
It can in international checkers, not in normal checkers, in normal checkers, it can only move one square diagonally in every direction
Huh, didn't realize that jumping was *mandatory*
It isn't for kings but he didn't mention that.
Correction about the rules: you place pieces on the opposite colored squares that they are, like how kings in chess go on opposite colored squares.
Then how do you even capture???
407 views in 36 minutes? bro fell off a bit (yes, this was the stats at the time of posting)
This is US checkers, right? Where's the 2nd Amendment? Or the fast food?
Fast food could come from the fact that kings can only move one square unless jumping.
Checkers is an actual fast food restaurant.
@@RohitKulan Yeah, and it's not so bad, depending on location
Fast food! That's a good one; LOL!
