A draughts board has 64 squares in an 8x8 configuration. 32 black or dark squares and 32 white squares.
double the size of a single bed
The difference between a single and double is that a single mattresses is 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Double mattresses is 15 inches wider at 54 inches wide and 75 inches long.
A twin is made for one person and a double is made for two. A double is the same as a full...just different name. A twin is also known as a single (twin=single, full=double). I think they should have just stuck with a single and double...much easier to keep straight. A twin is for one person, really? How confusing!As a side note, 2 Twin/Single XL's (4 inches longer) are equivalent to a King.
There isn't an immediate difference in comfort between a single and double pillow top, but you are able to flip double pillow top mattresses. This can make it more comfortable in the long run and may help it last longer. Double pillow tops do tend to be more expensive than single ones.

Yes, a single can jump a double in a game of draughts. As long as the jump would be allowed with another single piece, it is also allowed with a double.
